Lyrics
When you live in the violet
When you see it coming through to you
You could stay silent
Or you could take the blame, admit you're wrong
You could make it right tonight or a little later on
What you now know, you can't let go
It existed on the line, an apparition of time
Someone I love slips away
Green ray, but I'm not ready
You sit still as we move in front of the sun
Soon no one will
Soon no one will
Then it grabs you by your throat
It's tugging at your coat
This is a reminder, a violent note
Look at what we've done, it's so complete
We blotted out the sun for fun just to see
What you now know you can't let go
It existed on the line, an aberration of time
Someone I love slips away
Green ray, but I'm not ready
You see it die as it moves across the sky
A true flash of light, like two halves unite
Writer(s): Nicholas Shanahan Thorburn
