Violets Are Blue Lyrics by The Killing Tree

The Romance of Helen Trent

2002

[Intro: Tim McIlrath, Geoff Reu]
Somehow I knew that this would end
And then I finally found my way back home
And this is all one master plan
To keep us spinning down this endless well
I'm drowning in my own regrets
Trying so hard to take what's my last breath
And this is all I wanted from you
So alone, and now I'll have you know
[Instrumental break]
Like this dead stare
[Verse 1: Tim McIlrath, Geoff Reu]
If you can stand on your own two feet
Then you can get up off your fucking knees
Stand up and wash away the blood
That stains your soul
You've given me reason to
Tear you apart limb from limb
Now you can't fix what's already broke
[Chorus: Tim McIlrath]
Know, I'll have you know
Know, I'll have you know
Know, I'll have you know
Know, I'll have you know
[Post-Chorus: Tim McIlrath, Geoff Reu]
Like this dead stare
Whoa
[Verse 2: Tim McIlrath, Geoff Reu]
Don't surrender
Never give up your fucking life
You lied about your pride in yourself!
I push from inside your skin
And tear you apart from within
(You'll never see the sun again)
Again!
[Breakdown: Tim McIlrath, Geoff Reu]
Never, never
The sun!
Again!
I promise
It's my word
I drink this culture
I'll end your life!
[Chorus: Tim McIlrath]
Know
Know, I'll have you know
Know, I'll have you know
Know, I'll have you know
[Bridge 1: Tim McIlrath]
Look away from this broken mirror
Look away from this broken mirror
Look away from this broken mirror
Look away from this broken mirror
Now you
Look away from this broken mirror
Fuck you
Look away from this broken mirror
Look away from this broken, broken mirror
[Bridge 2: Tim McIlrath, Geoff Reu]
Look away from this broken mirror
Look away from this broken mirror
Look away from this broken mirror
Look away from this broken mirror
Now, the time has come
(Look away from this broken mirror)
To slow the beating of your heart
(Look away from this broken mirror, look away from this broken mirror, look away from this broken mirror)
Now, the time has come
To slow the beating of your heart
Now, the time has come
To slow the beating of your heart
Bite down!
Bite down!
[Refrain: Tim McIlrath, Geoff Reu]
Now, the time has come
To slow the beating of your heart (bite down)
Now, the time has come
To slow the beating of your heart (bite down)
[Chorus: Tim McIlrath]
Know, I'll have you know
Know, I'll have you know
Know, I'll have you know
Know, I'll have you know
