VERSE 1
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 visions 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)
PRE
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
CHORUS (half)
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
VERSE 2
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 coz now I question everything
PRE
CHORUS
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
OUTRO
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
