Violence

[Verse 1: Josh Taylor]
Self-admitted therapy won't break these chains
I'm just a product of societal necessity
Tried to escape but I keep losing blood
My vision's blurry, but I'm haunted by my clarity

[Refrain: Josh Taylor, Josh Taylor & Bethany Curtis]
(I don't know why I)
Keep breaking my own promises
(I don't know why I)
Let's kill it at the Genesis
(Protecting my own lies)
Won't take too long to realise
(I don't know why I)

[Pre-Chorus: Josh Taylor]
Don't act like I don't try
I'm not the monster in it all
Don't act like you don't lie
I'm not the monster in it all

[Chorus: Josh Taylor]
I don't wanna break your heart no more
I don't wanna make excuses for
I don't wanna leave when you're all I'm fighting for
Violence in a pretty dress

[Verse 2: Bethany Curtis]
I thought you loved me your perfect centrepiece
How could you say that you'd be better off without me?
You want apologies, I wanted family
The two-way street has closed cos now I question everything

[Pre-Chorus: Josh Taylor & Bethany Curtis]
Don't act like I don't try
I'm not the monster in it all
Don't act like you don't lie
I'm not the monster in it all

[Chorus: Josh Taylor & Bethany Curtis]
I don't wanna break your heart no more
I don't wanna make excuses for
I don't wanna leave when you're all I'm fighting for
Violence in a pretty dress
Gotta feel the ache once more
But I can't keep pretending when behind closed doors
That it's all roses, when it's just a bed of thorns
Violence in a pretty dress

[Outro: Josh Taylor & Bethany Curtis, Josh Taylor]
You are my violence
You are my violence
You are my violence
You are my violence
Yeah
You are, you are
Violence in a pretty dress
