Northside Violet

You sprayed the pictures, so they'd smell like you on arrival

A trace of your fragrance

To linger when I think of what I'm leaving behind

So I flip through carefully, though I feel I shouldn't

I know you're hoping that the polaroids bind me back to you

Ooh Ooh

But I got to rolling

When I felt I couldn't

Live another day fighting with the urge to hide the truth

I'm not running or chasing after you

Violet

I'm not running

I'm not running back

I'm not running, not chasing after you

Violet

You can find yourself another one

I know you will

Violet

You're never walking in a straight line

This was no different

Wild eyes, jetting side to side, calculating position

That old tendency to go and hide

When shit gets the realest

I left my blood on the northside

When it all hit the ceiling

I'm not running or chasing after you

Violet

I'm not running

I'm not running back

I'm not running, not chasing after you

Violet

You can find yourself another one

I know you will

I know you will

Violet
