[Jeshi, Obongjayar, Fredwave - Violence lyrics]
Show me to the light need peace of mind
When I close my eyes
It's violence, violence, violence, violence
Hold me like a friend 'Til we meet again
When we meet the end
No hiding, hiding, hiding, hiding
PTSD's got me weak
I'm cryin' tears at funerals, bleak
On tops, got you beneath
Pain, gotta see your name in the reef
(In the reef)
Break down when you get that call
Buryin' friends that you met in school
(Met in school) swingin' blades like jewels
Gotta smile for your mum, act cool
Beat up and run down
Still run circles 'round me somehow (Somehow)
Straight stare dumfounded
Black suit throwin' dirt in the ground
Are we payin' for sins? (Paying for sins)
Still don't know where to begin
See right through my glass window
Same way see through pain in the grin
All I see it's all I see
All I see it's all I see
Violence, violence, violence, violence
My mind's got scars
Shit I just can't get past
Blind findin' my way in the dark
(Way in the dark)
Weighin' the dark, at sea with sharks
Street throw up my heart
Goin' nowhere (yeah) nowhere good on my own
See bullets flyin' through cold air
(Pow, pow) ring out like my ringtone
Close my eyes I see colours flash
On the kitchen plate with a ton of ash (yeah)
Bad dreams, I can't run 'em back
Fell out the sky, see me where I land
You hold me down me like (Hold me down)
Burden on my back
No, I don't sound right (Sorry)
Shoot me out the sky
And I spiral right back on the ground like
Show me to the light
Need peace of mind (Peace of mind)
When I close my eyes
It's violence, violence, violence, violence
Hold me like a friend (Like a friend)
'Til we meet again (Meet again)
When we meet the end
No hiding, hiding, hiding, hiding
When I close my eyes
It's violence, violence, violence, violence
Hold me like a friend 'Til we meet again
When we meet the end
No hiding, hiding, hiding, hiding
PTSD's got me weak
I'm cryin' tears at funerals, bleak
On tops, got you beneath
Pain, gotta see your name in the reef
(In the reef)
Break down when you get that call
Buryin' friends that you met in school
(Met in school) swingin' blades like jewels
Gotta smile for your mum, act cool
Beat up and run down
Still run circles 'round me somehow (Somehow)
Straight stare dumfounded
Black suit throwin' dirt in the ground
Are we payin' for sins? (Paying for sins)
Still don't know where to begin
See right through my glass window
Same way see through pain in the grin
All I see it's all I see
All I see it's all I see
Violence, violence, violence, violence
My mind's got scars
Shit I just can't get past
Blind findin' my way in the dark
(Way in the dark)
Weighin' the dark, at sea with sharks

No hiding, hiding, hiding, hiding
