Lyrics
The Violence
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Open up, drink it in, don't ask too many questions
Become the vessel for the shame they feed you through suggestion
There's a rumor on the breeze, secrets that bring you to your knees
We made the problem, we are the poison
Close your eyes, surrender your beliefs to them for holding
Wait patiently to hear what ever-changing lines are showing
There's a whisper on the wind, eventual storm that's rolling in
They have the answers, cure for cancer, we've become that we've become
But all they wanted was violence
To plant their seeds and divide us
If they want the worst that's inside us
Bring on the violence
Back and forth, daily take apart what you've been building
Everything you have is to be fed into the system
There's a force out pushing fear, a deafening silence drawing near
Sit absorb it, guess we've been toxic all along
All they wanted was violence
To plant their seeds and divide us
If they want the worst that's inside us
Bring on the violence
I'm on the edge, and I'm not alone
Remember this is what you asked for
All you wanted was violence
To plant your seeds and divide us
You want the worst that's inside us
Well, bring on the violence, the violence
We'll fall before you divide us
If you want the worst that's inside us
Bring on the violence
