"Violence" lyrics

Violence, violence, bleak and rotten
Got a head filled up with cotton
It's dishonest to ignore it
It's exhausting to implore it

Mass extinction, flashes glowing
Microplastics in our clothing
Waterways are slowly going
Everything is decomposing

Hard to be human
Your home is a landfill
You fight over paper
Pay taxes to kill
And you're supposed to find a meaning
Don't get eaten by the dark
The art of living paints shadows in my heart
There, in my heart

Horror, horror, bleak and bloody
News broadcaster says it's muddy
Complicated and consuming
Educated people using

Facts and figures, painting pictures
Showing bodies all disfigured
Experts say their side's the greatest
Celebrity on hiatus

Hard to be human
Your home is a landfill
You fight over paper
Pay taxes to kill
And you're supposed to find a meaning
Don't get eaten by the dark
The art of living
Paints shadows in my heart
There, in my heart

Money, greed, excess power
Take a life, plant a flower
Wasted purpose and potential
That can make you existential

Money, greed, excess power
Take a life, plant a flower
Wasted purpose and potential
That can make you existential

Hard to be human
Your home is a landfill
You fight over paper
Pay taxes to kill
And you're supposed to find a meaning
Don't get eaten by the dark

And you're supposed to find a meaning
Don't get eaten by the dark
The art of living
Paints shadows in my heart
There, in my—

Supposed to find a meaning
Don't get eaten by the dark
