Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass

by Lana Del Rey

My life is sweet like lemonade now there’s no bitter fruit eternal sunshine of the spotless mind no thought of you

there’s things you still don’t know about me like sometimes i’m afraid my sadness is too big and that one day you might have to help me handle it

Maybe an artist has to function a little bit above themselves if they really want to transmit some heaven

But I do know who I am. I love Rose Gardens I buy violets every time someone leaves me I love the great sequoias of Yosemite and if you asked my sister to describe the first thing she thinks of when she thinks of me she would say woodsmoke I’m gentle I’m funny

My life is my poetry my lovemaking is my legacy
