Is This Violence
(Redard)

I can’t get up
It hurts too much
To be with no pain
You’re way too good
I’m beneath you
So I panic
‘Cause everyone else has the charm of explained sarcasm
And everywhere else is a waste of time
And every scenario where I’d end up with out you’s a lie
I can’t get out

Well is this violence?
‘Cause I don’t feel like I can leave
Is this violence?
‘Cause you can become everything
Because it hurts when you smile, my eyes, they sting for a while
Turns out you’re too much to take in
Is this violence?
‘Cause I don’t get a choice here

A victim of
A lock-tight deal
A first world problem
When it goes wrong
Boy, does it go wrong
There’s no way out
‘Cause every word I say is like I spilled some red wine
It only becomes harder to contain
And every effort to angle towards your freedom goes wrong
You bruise it up

Well is this violence?
‘Cause I don’t feel like I can leave
Is this violence?
‘Cause you can become everything
Because it hurts when you smile, my eyes, they sting for a while
Turns out you’re too much to take in
Is this violence?
‘Cause I don’t get a choice here
