The tragic comedy divine
Paints the way to peace of mind
Leaving shallow lovers far behind
Past uncertainties combine
Bringing tears to sleepless eyes
Memory runs the course of time
Blood runs cold beyond
The violet prison
For violent visions
And so the broken record plays
As you throw us away
We're never enough
We're drowning in cliches
So desperate to love
We're twisting every word they say
So we sleep through the days
Within the heat of passions war
Lust is spilled upon the floor
Staining red the wasted metaphor
The selfish need for something more
Claws in vain at closing doors
Scarring faces once adored
Tracing circles in the violet prison
For violet visions
And so the broken record plays
As you throw us away
Paints the way to peace of mind
Leaving shallow lovers far behind
Past uncertainties combine
Bringing tears to sleepless eyes
Memory runs the course of time
Blood runs cold beyond
The violet prison
For violent visions
And so the broken record plays
As you throw us away
We're never enough
We're drowning in cliches
So desperate to love
We're twisting every word they say
So we sleep through the days
Within the heat of passions war
Lust is spilled upon the floor
Staining red the wasted metaphor
The selfish need for something more
Claws in vain at closing doors
Scarring faces once adored
Tracing circles in the violet prison
For violet visions
And so the broken record plays
As you throw us away

When I first hear this song I was immediatley reminded of the 80's. I think this song maybe somewhat about a Psych-Ward. "Tracing circles in the Violets Prison for Violent Visions" See thats the part the really sticks with you, "Prison for Violent Visions" Where would you be for violent visions? An asylum type institution.
My second guess was that the protagonist in this story has made their own prison. "Past uncertainties combine, bringing tears to sleepless eyes. Memory runs the course of time. Blood runs cold" Maybe the person was wronged in the past and they just can't put the past behind them so now they've become inprisoned by their thoughts.
