Violence

[Verse 1: Josh Taylor] 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 [Refrain: Josh Taylor, Josh Taylor & Bethany Curtis] (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-Chorus: Josh Taylor] 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: Josh Taylor] 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: Bethany Curtis] 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 cos now I question everything [Pre-Chorus: Josh Taylor & Bethany Curtis] 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: Josh Taylor & Bethany Curtis] 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: Josh Taylor & Bethany Curtis, Josh Taylor] 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
