History of Violence lyrics

[Verse 1]
The window creeks in the draft
I'm starting to feel the breeze through the widow's peak and I'm glad
Nice reprieve, it's the little things that we have
Quite indeed, I just need a minute and half
Just a moment
After this there is no going back unless you own it
After this there is no turning back, it's only focus
After this when it no longer rains, there's only locusts
Stay in focus
No matter how you quote this
Never mince your word and everything is heard
Just know the judges remain partial in these solemn moments
You might be judged but there is love between the hocus pocus
I hope you know this
The stage is set
The catering ain't even finished plating yet
But the audience is more important
And they for us
I'm just staring back and forth in this place of the last resort so

[Verse 2]
Ladies and Gentlemen, take a minute to settle in
I'm happy to be the guests of the elements
Just for the record I appreciate all the effort
I'm glad that you all attending the main event
How do we settle this?
How do I make the case that's not rebellious?
How do I say my fate don't look so perilous?
How do I make a face that don't look hella p*ssed?
Are y'all convinced? 'Cause
I had a good run
I've been blessed with the many roads I can choose from
But my depression in every essence is too strong
The temptation of revelation
Lie of Heaven's waiting
Denied of Seven Graces
(If she dies she dies)
I am high off medication
Wine and more sedation
Mind on depredation
If you tell it all I am fine in every statement
Vibes on degradation
[Verse 3]
I remember back
Coming from home from Vancouver
Got my phone in the blue bus
Riding slow with a few bucks
Hearing voices
I was rolling on new stuff
I made a choice I was
Probably gon' do something
A week straight
I hid myself in the room
Pillowcase full of boogers
Dinner date with my doom
That moment it was safe to assume
Bad optics, it was fate, it was true
Admonished vitriol hate as it bloomed
Angel Gabriel haunting me, Saint Elijah is taunting me
They told me pay the price of this sacrifice of this offering
It felt like Sodom was close to me
How long will you suffer this odyssey?
You are close to closing the door on the prophecy
I see the drummer starting to get close to me
Tears down my eyes as everything is so lost to me

[Verse 4]
The room darkened
Candle lit the apartment
Time to finish what you started
Violent screaming final harvest
The pain goes away
Aphrodisiac for my heart
Light is bleeding through the carpet
Ride the sea on Noah's Ark
The rush of the feeling
Puffing, heaving, on the floor
Shadows sleeping at the door
f*ck your feelings no remorse
f*ck your friends
f*ck your life
f*ck 'em all
f*ck 'em twice
Meet me in afterlife
You can meet me in afterlife
[Verse 5]
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free
Thinking bout all the people dead in the street
How young was this kid, like eleven or three?
While the presidents sit and smile in the embassy seats
Is heaven the only semblance of peace?
'Cause they gonna kill my brother and take him from me
Everybody's a terrorist
Everybody's nefarious
Never question our methods or you're in league
So many lives remembered in tweets
I saw a clip of a man and they severed his feet
Never mention the fascists
Never mention the bad sh*t
Never mention the tactics or you're in league
And these f*ckers gonna say it's all about peace
Check the stats motherf*cker it's all about greed
Never mention their missiles
Never mention the pistols
Never mention the weapons
Never mention submissions

[Outro]
Never mention the kids or you're in league
Never mention the men or you're in league
Never mention the women
Never mention the children
Never mention the victims or you're in league
Never mention the toll or you're in league
Never mention the war or you're in league
Never mention the cause or you're in league
Never get involved or you're in league
Never mention the kids or you're in league
Never mention the men or you're in league
Never mention the women
Never mention the children
Never mention the victims or you're in league
Never mention the toll or you're in league
Never mention the war or you're in league
Never mention the cause or you're in league
Never get involved or you're in league
