Violet Leaves The Garden

Through the fallouts
Through the breakdowns
I burnt my bridges
I burnt the whole fucking town
We used to be maps
You traced boulevards into my skin
Now we’re back
And falling in circles again
I know that you are scared to death
But you’re not the type to run and
I know you say you’re fine
When everything is wrong
I feel like a silhouette
Singing stories to you on the phone
and
I know I’m the one who left
But I never meant to leave you
So don’t fly away
‘Cause I gave away what you gave to me
And
don’t tear yourself down
‘Cause I finally figured what’s worth fighting about
I can’t just turn around
We’re suddenly ghosts and
Sleeping with strangers
I re-read what you wrote
And look at every photo we took
And I’m still the grey streets
And I’m still the old places we’d meet
We’re falling in circles again
Violet left the garden don’t you know?
No longer lost
But still so far from home

The Death Of Me
04:11

You sweet broken thing
You’ll be the death of me
Took me unaware
Living over there
Oh, take this love and weigh it down
Push it down beneath the ground
Take this love and weigh it down
Push it down
My saving grace
Was running away
Before I gave
My weary heart to break
You’ve spoiled everything
I’ve got nothing left to say to you
Can’t give my heart away
When you stole it right from out of me
Oh, when I see your smile
Oh be the death of me
You sweet broken thing
Take me unaware
Take me over there
My saving grace
Was running away
But now I’ll stay

We Lied
05:01

I fell awake in your light
I fade away from your side
Well,
I don’t know anyone else who
I can tell about this I can’t
Breathe the air around here anymore
I’m falling apart and you seem distracted
Oh won’t you come out with it?
We’re so deep in your atmosphere
Of dread
I fell awake in your light
In your cold fire
In your quiet devastation
After all this
How could you say
You lost yourself?
You were hardly searching
Just go
I will be right here
Living your little nightmare
Oh everything is fine, yeah
Hope that your having fun, yeah
We couldn’t fight
So we lied
We wouldn’t run when it was time
So we lied
I never thought I’d cause such harm
How long do we go?
How wrong do we become?
I think I need to just be someone else
For a while
How long for?
I’m unsure
I gravitate to our old fires
I’ve given some thought to give up old desires
I fell in love with our highs
When we were low
We lied
The party breaks and it leads my eyes
To your eyes

Have Fun With The Boys
06:31

Let’s dance without the subtext
Like wreckage among the stars
Let’s burn up like photographs, and
Get down, get down
Get down tonight
Get down, get down
Until you’ve forgotten everything
You don’t need to love me for me
Just love me for someone
That I might be some day
You don’t even have to love me for me
Just love me for someone
That I might be some day
I’m alright
I’m a thousand miles away
I’m alright
Have fun with the boys
Have fun with the boys
I’m alright
Have fun with the boys
Have fun
You don’t need to love me for me
Just love me for someone
That I might be someday
You don’t even have to love me for me
Just love me for someone
That I might be someday
I’m alright
Go out tonight
Oh I’m alright
Have fun with the boys
I’m alright
Oh I’m a million miles away
No, I’m alright
Have fun with the boys
Go out tonight
Have fun with the boys
Oh cherish this pain
It’s fleeting
Oh I was so in love with everything
Back then
Cherish these days
They’re fleeting
Oh I was so in love with everything
Back then
You don’t have to love me for me
I guess you don’t need to love me at all
You don’t have to love me for me

Last Days
06:17

If all we love we leave
Does all the love we leave
Just rot right on the tree?
Comes anyway
Last Days
If all we love we leave
Does all the love we leave
Go clear like cellophane?
Comes anyway
Bitter and sweet
Last Days

Classic Red Perth, Australia
An escapee of Melbourne, subsisting on red wine, black metal and instant coffee suffuses melancholic and progressive influences into 80’s pop music. From Perth, the most remote city in Australia, comes Last Days by Classic Red. The sound of a bar room scrap between David Bowie and Deafheaven, with John Carpenter playing the score and James Blake silently punching himself in the face in the corner. ... more
