Lyrics

A Violent Death

[Chorus]

A violent death

What a surprise

A violent death

No space to cry out

A violent death

No time for goodbyes

A violent death

I didn't think it would be like this

With wet warmth draining across the seat

I didn't think it would be like this

To see what I'm made of in color HD

[Chorus]

A violent death

Oh, what a surprise

A violent death

No space to cry out

A violent death

No time for goodbyes

A violent death

[Verse 2]

I didn't think it could feel like this

The shock of not living distracting the pain

I didn't think it could be like this

To know I'm going with nothing to say

[Bridge]

Strangers lean over passengers

On the same train

Same train

I didn't think

It would be like this

[Chorus]

A violent death

What a surprise

A violent death

No space to cry out

A violent death

No time for goodbyes

A violent death

[Bridge]

Strangers lean over passengers

On the same train

Same train

I didn't think it would be like this

I never thought of how it would come

I didn't think it could feel like this

I didn't think it would be like this

I didn't think it would be like this

Oh I didn't think it would be like this

With wet warmth draining across the seat

I didn't think it would be like this

To see what I'm made of in color HD

A violent death

A violent death

No space to cry out

A violent death

A violent death

I never thought of how it would come

But now it's upon me, it's all that I am

I never thought of how it would come

All that I'm made of is how it would come

[Bridge]

Strangers lean over passengers

On the same train

Same train

Strangers lean over passengers

On the same train

Same train

[Chorus]

A violent death

Oh what a surprise

A violent death

No space to cry out

A violent death

No time for goodbyes

A violent death
