Lyrics:
if ice was warm
and winter could burn an iris to its core
cool is the warmest flame
it melts the blame
without shame
we cause violet fires, it seems-

-we’re but a dream
emerald eyes and purple skies
they gleam
mountain breeze, fall to me knees
i stare in admiration
familiar smell i know too well
a love that often bleeds

[chorus]
two more steps you’ll pass me by
and i’ll awake with tired eyes
my fear of loneliness is no surprise
i sit on a chalkboard roof
as skies turns a darker blue
i fill my lazy head with thoughts of you
i lit the violet fire to clean

in truth i lie
in a freezing bed of longing i hide
fool is the only name
that i’m to claim
we’re the same
so flows the violet flame again-

-there is rain
majesty and disbelief remain
holy means your soul’s pristine
unearthly man redeems
hubris of a god above
my own relief is love

[chorus]

you caused the violet fire
he caused the violet fire
i caused the violet fire in me

Violet Fire

after ur gone (alex g cover)

pillow’s flattened your hair again
you should just sleep on a curling iron
so you can float down the stairs tomorrow
in the morning
and be the universe’s present
wrapped up with a bow, make the hallway glow

even though we’re alone
on the 25th
we both know there’s nothing in the world i wouldn’t give 
to yank you out my 2d screen
and hold you by the christmas tree
 
baby if you get cold
ill put all my weight on your chest
and sink you to the core
of the earth’s ribcage, rid of you of that dispossessed
feeling that i feel
every time we say goodbye
every time you cry
i feel your teardrops meeting mine

even though we’re alone
on the 25th
we both know there’s nothing in the world i wouldn’t give 
to yank you out my 2d screen
and hold you by the christmas tree

alone on the 25th

dunno if i will do anything with this song

L8er (demo)

girl it’s true
yeah i’m in love with you
please let me stay with you
we’ll do what lovers do
oh baby let me lay with you
girl how I ache for you
why do you play with me
I wander aimlessly 
oh baby I just want to die
when you look in my eyes
and then I start to cry
inside my head

nothin much
