Violence (feat. As December Falls)

Self-admitted therapy won't break these chains

I'm just a product of societal necessity

Tried to escape but I keep losing blood

My vision's blurry, but I'm haunted by my clarity

(I don't know why I) keep breaking my own promises

(I don't know why I) let's kill it at the Genesis

(Protecting my own lies) won't take too long to realise

(I don't know why I)

Don't act like I don't try

I'm not the monster in it all

Don't act like you don't lie

I'm not the monster in it all

I don't wanna break your heart no more

I don't wanna make excuses for

I don't wanna leave when you're all I'm fighting for

Violence in a pretty dress

I thought you loved me, your perfect centrepiece

How could you say that you'd be better off without me?

You want apologies, I wanted family

The two-way street has closed 'cause now I question everything

Don't act like I don't try

I'm not the monster in it all

Don't act like you don't lie

I'm not the monster in it all

I don't wanna break your heart no more

I don't wanna make excuses for

I don't wanna leave when you're all I'm fighting for

Violence in a pretty dress

Gotta feel the ache once more

But I can't keep pretending when behind closed doors

That it's all roses, when it's just a bed of thorns

Violence in a pretty dress

You are my violence

You are my violence

You are my violence

You are my violence

Yeah!

You are, you are!

Violence in a pretty dress!
