i choose violence lyrics

You told me I was 18 going on 35
You made me feel like the smartest human alive
I thought I was clever but, were you clever..er
You said you never fell in love like you did with me
You paid for all the hotels
I paid for fake ID's
To spend the last 10 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 guеss I could forgive...
But I choose violencе
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
So I choose violence
And I might die trying

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 friends 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 5
You had a teaching degree
While she was learning how to drive
And you'll 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

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 mothers house
And she’ll guard the door
But I’ll choose anger
I'll choose rage
When I build an army
Of girls half your age
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 I maybe I’ll die trying
