History Of Violence

Spring's around the corner

And she's calling my name

She's drinking in the sunlight

I'll just stick to the shade

Reflection in the water needs somebody to blame

Pollen on my fingers

And I'm itching my nose

Another cycle stuffs me up with something nobody knows

But everybody 'round me is allergic to home

A history of violence

Too big for my body

I'll carry the weight like Atlas did

A legacy of silence

I will not go quietly

I'll ferry across the river Styx

Take the soul of my dead life

Make Persephone my wife

So something could grow down here with this

History of violence

Too big for my body

Spring's across the country

But she's calling my name

She says"Are you in it for love, or are you here for the fame?

Don't take too long to answer, Imma need one today"

Sunburn from the moonlight

And it's stinging my soul

The constellations sing their stories out like nobody knows

Maybe if I join them, I'll forget all my woes

A history of violence

Too big for my body

I'll carry the weight like Atlas did

A legacy of silence

I will not go quietly

I'll ferry across the river Styx

Take the soul of my dead life

Make Persephone my wife

So something could grow down here with this

History of violence

Too big for my body

Someone took my lemonade

And spiked it with a little shame

That I haven't grown up at all

Little talks and bigger games

There's nothing wrong, I wanna play

But I can't seem to catch my fall

And I'll save another bite for my last plate

So when I'm passing over

I can savor the taste of something I made

Something I made

And it won't taste like

A history of violence

Too big for my body

I'll carry the weight like Atlas did

A legacy of silence

I will not go quietly

A history of violence

Too big for my body

I'll carry the weight like Atlas did

A legacy of silence

I will not go quietly

I'll ferry across the river Styx

Take the soul of my dead life

Make Persephone my wife

So something could grow down here with this

History of violence

That doesn't define me

History of violence

That doesn't define me
