Violence

[Verse 1]

Lock the door to your room

Pray they don't find us, pray they don't kick it down

Oh you've been keeping secrets

And these kind of lies have consequences

So many possibilities for this to all end badly

It's almost guaranteed

Nothing but shame and paranoia

A slightly desperate feeling to calm you to sleep

[Chorus]

What could we have done (What could we have done?)

To deserve a violence like this?

What could we have done (What could we have done?)

To deserve a violence like this?

[Verse 2]

And we'll watch the light coming under the door

Listen for footsteps coming down the hall

Are you gonna wake up screaming through a slit throat?

Young flesh searing on a twin mattress

But it doesn't have to be the way things end

We don't have to give up just yet

[Chorus]

What could we have done (What could we have done?)

To deserve a violence like this?

What could we have done (What could we have done?)

To deserve a violence like this?

[Outro]

What could we have done (What could we have done?)

To deserve a violence like this?

What could we have done (What could we have done?)

To deserve a violence like this?
