I Choose Violence Songtext
von Jax

You told me I was 18 going on 35
You made me feel like the smartest human alive
I thought I was clever but you were cleverer
You said you never fell in love like you did with me
You paid for all the hotels, I paid for fake IDs
To spend the last ten years tryna′ piece it together

I went to therapy religiously
I never sleep
I made my brother promise me he'd let you live
And I guess I could forgive

But I choose violence, I choose war
For all the little girls that should be warned
I could choose silence but what for?
You took my innocence now I′ll take your
So I choose violence
And I might die tryin'


Now you're prolly her world and she won′t understand
That all you need is a girl to feel like a man
Tell your friend she′s a friend at your hometown dive
But when you were 13 she wasn't alive
And by the time you were 18 well that girl was five
You had a teaching degree while she was learnin′ how to drive

And you make her feel safe
Like you made me feel safe
Like oh my God you're so mature for your age
Except she′s not your age

So I choose violence, I choose war
For all the little girls that should be warned
I could choose silence but what for?
You took my innocence now I'll take yours

And you′ll choose hiding at 44
In your mother's house she'll guard the door
But I′ll choose anger, I′ll choose rage
When I build an army of girls half your age, oh

We'll all choose violence, we′ll all choose war
And every little girl will be warned
We won't choose silence, not anymore
You took our innocence now we′ll take yours
So I choose violence
And maybe I'll die tryin′
