lyrics

I saw a girl wearing sunglasses made by D&G
I saw someone similar in a rape they were sponsoring
She woke up moist from a thinspirational wet dream
She woke up bruised after a capital fantasy
I’m a lady screaming for you to stop
This entire gang rape that we have bought
They calculated each color and every life
Of course everything can have a price
Violet, Violet, Violet, can you hear me?
I’m looking out for you
I am working so hard to understand everything that makes you do what you do

Soon you will be able to buy everything
I’m dreaming of a cascading romance
It’s taking each and every one of us so far away
A place where I am unnecessary
A place where you can smile again, darling
The inhabitants have lovely skin
It’s dark and warm not green and sick
I awake to hear you screaming in pain
I’m dreaming, I’m dreaming
Hush hush, you’re not insane
You have started calling me mother
But I am no such thing
I’m merely a critic of this shame
That you have to play like it’s a game
I will help fight for your life
As long as you fight for it too
Now please, won’t you hold me?
And I will make love to you
I will try to never sell this to you
I will try to never sell this to you
Even though it may be hard
And it will only get harder
As our veins of faith intersect with one another
And all of the gold has run dry
We will try and try and try
We can find its weak points
It will hang itself if we pay it enough
I’m trying
I love you
We all need your strength
And your defiance
And mine as well
Will you join me?
Will you join me?

What do you buy?
What do you buy when you love him?
What does he say?
What does he say when he needs you?
What does he give?
What does he give that you need?
What are your prayers?
What are your prayers asking God?
Can you not see?
Can’t you wake up to his lies?
Even if you can
Can you do anything about it?
Given to him
By every single one of us
Please forgive me
Please forgive us
Please forgive yourself
For we know not what we’ve done
Shaking in the shell
That he’s plastered around you
It’s cold and it’s cramped
And it’s killing you
You will never smile it all away
It only brings decay
I know that you’re there
I know that you’re breathing
I know that you’re alive
I know that you can see me
I want you to look inside
Look inside yourself
It’s okay to cry
But not okay to give up
You can beat this
You can beat this
You can beat this
You can beat this
