  • Open up, drink it in, don't ask too many questions
    Become the vessel for the shame they feed you through suggestion
    There's a rumor on the breeze, secrets that bring you to your knees
    We made the problem, we are the poison, whoa

    Close your eyes, surrender your beliefs to them for holding
    Wait patiently to hear what ever-changing lines are showing
    There's a whisper on the wind, eventual storm that's rolling in
    They have the answers, cure for the cancer, we've become
    That we've become

    All they wanted was violence
    To plant their seeds and divide us
    If they want the worst that's inside us
    We'll, bring on the violence, the violence

    Back and forth, daily take apart what you've been building
    Everything you have is to be fed into the system
    There's a force out pushing fear, a deafening silence drawing near
    Sit and absorb it, guess we've been toxic all along, all along

    All they wanted was violence
    To plant their seeds and divide us
    If they want the worst that's inside us
    We'll, bring on the violence, the violence (the violence)
    To plant their seeds and divide us (the violence)
    If they want the worst that's inside us (the violence)
    We'll, bring on the violence, the violence

    I'm on the edge, and I'm not alone
    Remember this is what you asked for
    I'm on the edge, and I'm not alone
    Remember this is what you asked for

    All you wanted was violence
    To plant your seeds and divide us
    You want the worst that's inside us
    We'll, bring on the violence, the violence (the violence)
    We'll fall before you divide us (the violence)
    If you want the worst that's inside us (the violence)
    Bring on the violence, the violence Writer/s: Benjamin Bruce, Danny Worsnop, James Cassells, Matthew Good
