"The Violence" Lyrics

when will i ever see you lost in that dance again
the repercussions felt intentional or otherwise
where are the beauties breeding mind over matter
where are the beauties breeding mind over matter
get up, get up do what you oughta
we always promised to, we always promised
get out, get out get what we wanted
i must reconcile your absence

the violence
that instigates
the violence
so easily formed
the violence
that instigates

and someone asked me
'what are you doing with yourself?'
and i said 'writing a book about beunos aires'
and they said 'why?'
'well there is a child/messiah there who's convinced that he feels everyone's pain
interconnected
get up, get up do what you have to!
keep all your promises, keep all those promises
get up, get up do what you have to!
this spark is instant
it dies before you know

i'll keep you with me, take these chances
try to honour, with my actions
place my trust in those that need me
all i need to use is memory
say you won't miss me
say you won't miss me
