C          G        Am  
The tragic comedy divine,
            G               C    
Paints the way to peace of mind.
          G            Am          G
Leaving shallow lovers far behind.
C        G              Am 
 Past uncertainties combine.
           G                 C
Bringing tears to sleepless eyes.
        G                  Am   
Memory runs the course of time.
                            F                 Dm               G 
Blood runs cold beyond the violet prison, for violent visions.
                       Am           F        G
so the broken record plays, as you throw us away.

(CHORUS)
Am              G
  We're never enough,
                  Am
We're drowning in cliches.
                 G  
So desperate to love,
                      F              G F
We're twisting every word they say.
        G                      C 
So we sleep through the days.


            G               Am
Within the heat of passions war,
           G               C
Lust is spilled upon the floor.
          G              Am       G   
Staining red the wasted metaphor.
C             G                  Am
 The selfish need for something more,
          G                C 
Claws in vain at closing doors.
           G          Am 
Scarring faces once adored.
                       F                  Dm              G 
Tracing circles in the violet prison, for violet visions.
                          Am            F        G
And so the broken record plays, as you throw us away.
