[Intro] Why won’t you look me in the eyes? You’re all violet haze up there, floating slow and violet stoned tonight [Verse 1] You speak in smoke, you breathe in slow replies With a lazy grin and a laugh that keeps drifting by I see the glow underneath the neon light You chase the high till you’re swallowed by the night [Pre-Chorus] Hands tracing dreams while the room still leaks All the half-formed plans that you’ll never keep You call it peace, I call it blind A drifting soul with a storm inside [Chorus] Why won’t you look me in the eyes? Why you hide behind that violet stoned mind? All spaced out, so far, so slow Searching for heaven in a haze of smoke Why won’t you look me in the eyes? Why won’t you look me in the eyes? [Verse 2] You built your comfort out of haze and pride Made a palace from the days you let pass by Every sunset’s just a faded frame Every promise slips and melts away [Pre-Chorus] Hands tracing dreams while the room still leaks All the half-formed plans that you’ll never keep You call it peace, I call it blind A drifting soul with a storm inside [Chorus] Why won’t you look me in the eyes? Why you hide behind that violet stoned mind? All spaced out, so far, so slow Searching for heaven in a haze of smoke Why won’t you look me in the eyes? Why won’t you look me in the eyes? [Bridge] Take off the mask Let the fog breathe out Step from the cloud Tell me what you’re about If you’re all fine, then shake that sleep If you’re awake, then rise from the deep [Final Chorus] Why won’t you look me in the eyes? Why you hide behind that violet stoned mind? All spaced out, perched in your zone But the light feels lost when you drift alone Why won’t you look me in the eyes? Why won’t you look me in the eyes?
