VIOLENCE - Oliver Francis

I was handcuffed to the brief case

I woke up with my memory erased

For a moment I thought we were safe

We can run all we want but we’ll never escape this

Seems like I can never relax

We can try but you know it won’t last

Eyes wide with my foot on the gas

Took the turn too wide and I couldn’t correct it

Keep your secrets you might find that I know you better than you think

I’m stuck in your love

See you sharpening your fangs before you bite down

See you creep in like a spider crawls down your throat while you sleep

And it keeps on tumbling down

How can I tell you what I don’t know?

I saw you wink through the cigarette smoke

I know you don’t hesitate with your violence

Two dollar signs tattooed on your eyelids

How can I tell you what I don’t know?

I saw you wink through the cigarette smoke

I know you don’t hesitate with your violence

Two dollar signs tattooed on your eyelids

I was trippin' I was faded off of love in a pill

I was revvin' up the engine I was gone at the wheel

You administer the venom then I’m floating away

I don’t know what I was sippin' there was something in my drink

I was goin' fitty five thru the cemetery gates

It was somethin' on your mind it was all over your face

You were quiet and composed tell me what you got to say

Put the pedal to the floor as we narrowly escape

Keep your secrets you might find that I know you better than you think

I’m stuck in your love

See you sharpening your fangs before you bite down

See you creep in like a spider crawls down your throat while you sleep

And it keeps on tumbling down

How can I tell you what I don’t know?

I saw you wink through the cigarette smoke

I know you don’t hesitate with your violence

Two dollar signs tattooed on your eyelids

How can I tell you what I don’t know?

I saw you wink through the cigarette smoke

I know you don’t hesitate with your violence

Two dollar signs tattooed on your eyelids

Long slow deep breaths

Burning my chest
