A Subtle Violence Lyrics

Theres a violence in my soul

That wants to do damage

and break it all

But don't think you're so very different

You just hide it better

And what you meant by love

Was a desire to control it all

Our shadows flickered near

Burnt through each other

Consumed each other

You drew me in

caressed the scars

Beneath my skin

Desire darkened

As we used up all the pain

We cut in deep

Exposed the wounds

That lay beneath

Burned each other

Til the decaying of the end

I feel the damage that's been done

I pulled you closer

Till we came undone

But don't think you wouldn't do harm

Its just your violence is more subtle

And what we meant by love

Was a desire to infect it all

Our shadows flickered near

Tore through each other

Consumed each other

You drew me in

caressed the scars

Beneath my skin

Desire darkened

As we used up all the pain

We cut in deep

Exposed the wounds

That lay beneath

Burned each other

Til the decaying of the end
