Lyrics for Violence

Lock the door to your room Pray they don't find us, pray they don't kick it down You've been keeping secrets And these kind of lies have consequences So many possibilities for this to all end badly It's almost guaranteed Nothing but shame and paranoia A slightly desperate feeling to calm you to sleep What could we have done To deserve a violence like this? And we'll watch the light coming under the door Listen for footsteps coming down the hall Are you gonna wake up screaming through a slit throat? Young flesh searing on a twin mattress But it doesn't have to be the way things end We don't have to give up just yet What could we have done To deserve a violence like this?
