Lyrics

Intro

Oh oh oh

Mm mm

I am fine

I am fine

Verse 1

Paper skin

Ripping on the edges where the pressure settles in

Too many faces

Crowding up the small spaces

Pills on the counter don't fix the flavor of the air

It is empty

It is quiet

Pre-Chorus

Pushing through the glass walls

Waiting for the hard fall

Catch my breath before it leaves my lungs

Chorus

Soft violence in the way you look away

Soft violence in the words you never say

Bruises on the spirit don't show through the clothes

Where the water goes

Nobody knows

Soft violence

Oh it is soft violence

Drop

Soft violence

Soft violence

Verse 2

Rattle the cage without making a sound

Lifting the anchor then hitting the ground

Hard to explain how the silence can scream

Broken a part of a digitizing dream

See how the shadow grows

Feel how the winter flows

Trying to find where the exit might hide

Looking for a way to get back inside

My pulse is a metronome skipping a beat

Keeping the heat

Walking on a different street

Pre-Chorus

Pushing through the glass walls

Waiting for the hard fall

Catch my breath before it leaves my lungs

Chorus

Soft violence in the way you look away

Soft violence in the words you never say

Bruises on the spirit don't show through the clothes

Where the water goes

Nobody knows

Soft violence

Oh it is soft violence

Drop

Soft violence

Soft violence

Bridge

Maybe I can reach the surface

Maybe I can find a purpose

Maybe I can start to feel the light

Lifting up the heavy weight tonight

Breaking through the patterns and the pain

Learning how to stand inside the rain

Chorus

Soft violence in the way you look away

Soft violence in the words you never say

Bruises on the spirit don't show through the clothes

Where the water goes

Nobody knows

Soft violence

Oh it is soft violence

Post-Chorus

La la la la

(Soft violence)

Oh oh oh

(We are rising)

La la la la

It is soft violence

Soft violence

Everything is soft violence
