Choose Violence

from Jack but Jill by Pyrophoria

/

lyrics

My mom said
Nothing
Too busy
Bluffing
She needed handcuffing
People kick the stuffing
I never understood loving
Never understood nothing
I was playground shoving
Adjusting
Spontaneously combusting
Cry-baby is disgusting
I’m knuckle dusting
Gut busting
Age five swallowed alive
It took a exorcist to revive
I don’t need a pain pill to survive
I took a bat to the beehive
I’m crashworthy and I drive
My mom lost her thoughts
Dreams, memories, blindspots
She can no longer connect the dots
She drank herself out of snapshots
She went looking through mail slots
The bleed through she blots
Now who takes care of you mom
I ain’t never read a psalm
No one needs to read my palm
I am a bomb
You couldn’t keep calm
My life is a war like Vietnam
So when they come
Deaf blind and dumb
They’ll know numb
When I beat them like a drum
I don’t leave a breadcrumb
Come and get some

Do you get what you get
Do you give a shit
Or do you get what you got
Choose violence; have a thought

Don’t do drugs kids choose violence
Not silence
Say what you mean because everyone is in compliance
In an alliance
Get them down like to a science
They are a kitchen appliance
Lifeless
They are tv show pilots
Flightless
The aren’t blue but they’re called violets
Self righteous
They smite us
I want to be eyeless
But not quietness
Do you know reliance
Choose defiance

Do you get what you get
Do you give a shit
Or do you get what you got
Choose violence; have a thought

I spat out every pill for the pain
Pain is a middle name
And you give it or get it plain
A pill is every link in your chain
Kill the man who keeps you tame
Can’t says plain Jain
Well there’s a needle in your vein
And you let it drain
But I’m filled with butane
And I’m a bloodstain
You’re a bullet in a brain
Your downfall as frequent as rain
You only know maintain
Tracks for a train
Your life is wrapped in cellophane
To never entertain
You live a life of novocaine

Your loss is my bane
Jagged Jill goes insane
Choose violence don’t disclaim
Pain is not for gain
Pain you can’t contain
They drug their pain mundane
I beat my pain like I was inhumane
Pain is a gas main
And I am a flame

Do you get what you get
Do you give a shit
Or do you get what you got
Choose violence; have a thought
