Amethyst (Live)

She was a tired high school graduate with the whole world in her eyes

She kinda felt like she had lost it and couldn't figure out her price

So inviting was his constant open door

With the old school rap songs playing

Sending hard bass through the floorboards

He was a

Bare-chested brute to some

With an unsettling smile

He was too intense for anyone

But a curious young girl who stayed a while

The way he made his music

The words and webs he wove

Counting out his rhythms to the sky

While her young blue eyes were closed

Oranges and olives

'Cause you knew they were my favourite

Living lillies in a pot instead of

Cut ones in the vases

I wish I kept all the letters I burned

All the emails I deleted all the memories I earned

You know,

We live the same life each time

Over and over again

But with each reincarnation I make the same mistakes again

You've done things, done things I don't believe in

But who hasn't done that

It doesn't make you bad

I can't stand all this devotion from

Rugged hands, tanned skin

But you're still young

It was a day of insecurity

Clouding over a diamond mind

She vowed she wouldn't break and feel for him

Today she couldn't think of why

Her fortress breaking she let

Another kiss slip by

To exhausted and content to have

Her ego revitalized

And yet still

The days went on and on

She winced as each one passed

Another genuine good animal

Who had given her far more than she could ask

And when her guard slipped too far

Her mind turned icy cold

Her eyes were filled with pepper

And her chest began to fold

I had a dream that I was caught in a tornado

I was flying with a smile 'til it got so strong that my back broke

He told me I'd been making this decision now for ages

I would say no, each lifetime now he wanted me to change it

The same day that I broke him he had given me a bracelet

He was holding the twin in his hands as he watched me drive away and
