Say Yes to Violence - Foxes In Fiction
Better selves I could organize I just wanna look strong
If I become who I pretend to be
Who have I been all along
A mild-mannered Canadian useless in our passiveness
Apologies for the northern shame kill with gentleness
Message came from the other side say yes to violence
There's a voice buried in the waves
Keeps begging me to swim
Moving fast to get out in front
And wash the night out of the cloth
And tell you how I got the scar
As blood fills my mouth
Hard to understand why
Half of me it wants to be enveloped
Clouded in my vital signs a second sight
Burning out I'm pushing back on the fading light
Losing trust here on the ledge I know what it could steal
I'm giving in to indifference telling fantasy from real
Try to make new memory the lens blurred I tried to rush
And felt the sweat sink through
The bed the night I said too much
Hard to understand why
Half of me it wants to be enveloped
Clouded in my vital signs a second sight
Burning out I'm pushing back on the fading light
