Under the glow of an imitation violet night I sketched the nightmare of a violent smite Her cigarette was burning in a pepsi can ash tray What could've been night was actually day We sat together on that old dust covered floor Below a leaky windowsill and a broken door What is it? she said to me An ancient lagoon and willow trees I was searching the paper for something to please But I remembered the feeling of being empty I pulled up the blanket and it became day She wasn't there and I had made a mistake Willow trees and an ancient lagoon The place where I married her and buried her too

Willow Trees: An Ancient Lagoon
Under the glow of an imitation violet night I sketched the nightmare of a violent smite Her cigarette was burning in a pepsi can ash tray What could've been night was actually day We sat together on that old dust covered floor Below a leaky windowsill and a broken door What is it? she said to me An ancient lagoon and willow trees I was searching the paper for something to please But I remembered the feeling of being empty I pulled up the blanket and it became day She wasn't there and I had made a mistake Willow trees and an ancient lagoon The place where I married her and buried her too
