Wear Your Wounds - Shrinking Violet Lyrics

My love
Please just wait a second
There's something
You must understand

My disease is such a flawed design
The true absence
Of hope and light

I once lived on
On a placid hill
So young and invincible
With an innocence so deliberate

I never saw
The storms coming
As I grew tall timid skies turned grey
Wind picked up and
All the petals swayed
Those tears, they fell down as pouring rain
Over a shrinking violet
I must have lost my way
So I trundled on, deep into the black
And delicately he then took my hand
Pulled me closer and never, ever left
My faithful darkness
A most loyal friend
