Men of Violence

from Pareidolia by Mutes

/

lyrics

All forced entries
All ruined young
Those men of violence
We allow them to become
They think they own the rights to
Every living thing sight that
Dares to breathe
No crimes of passion
Victims of lust
No miscommunication
No conviction is time enough
So bag yourself an early grave
And drag your bloody knuckles all the way
So kill the habit
Of wanting more
And suck your figure in
Until you’re suitably adored
Well I know they’ll save a place for me
I’ve been rewriting history
And I come out looking pretty fucking good
You make me out to be so cold
Like you were better off alone

I’m a common breed- I know.
It haunts me like scars and the fears I’ve shown.
Stay hollow
They’ll follow
And put your skin up for sale
Whilst you’re busy chewing nails
I’ve sworn love in excess
I’ve scraped the beauty from bones
I have prayed to disappear
I steer between spaces of self-preservation and lingering doubt
The onslaught of ages
Impregnable stasis
All heads in the ground
So awake evaded consequence
And bear your arms to seek exact revenge.
Exact revenge.
