a question of when - la violencia lyrics

[intro + verse 1]

if they can listen without being silent
then here’s a silent recital of every voice i’ve ever heard
of your last will and testament
or a testament to the limits of my free will
will my actions govern my mistakes
or will i rise above the ashes of your fascism?
it’s like watching heaven’s benevolence revel in irrelevance
because roses arе red, and violence is too

[chorus 1]

if i forgivе the sins of the father
will they live on through me?

[verse 2]

it’s my inheritance
at night, when it’s dark, my eyelids, my eyelids
they become my armour ++
my dark knights in shining armour
they, they keep the boogie monsters out

the streets are safer than the home i left
this dirt’s become my skin now
i’ve got myself to live with now
and that there is worse than anything
that you could do to me, to me, to me now
i’m not that person anymore
but i see you deep in everyone
away, away i’m runnin’ but i’m only going over, over, and over
away is over, over, over, and over
take your fear, take it out, take it out on your child
out on me, out on me, out on me to hurt yourself
they can pull me from blood river
demons be delivered
who’s there throwin’ me in her?
they’ll be savin’ me forever
from generations…

i’m a time bomb, baby…
the boy who cried wolf just died
the silent masses didn’t wanna listen
i always knew they were anagrams for a reason:
listen | silent | listen | silent | listen
…now silence is the loudest sound

[verse 3]

now go to the mirror: remove your head
that’s where i stood when i lost mine…
don’t stop. give in
a fist will bleed, a word will sting
imagination is a thing of power. great power
silence started yelling, screaming
the mind is such a terrible thing to doubt…
it’s calling!
i can’t help this…. i’m so helpless….
i can’t help this…. i’m so helpless….
help me…. please help me… please help me!

[chorus 2]

if i forgive the sins of the father
will they live on through me?

[breakdown]

i’m in my jammies
the hallway shakes and creaks;
he’s getting closer to me…

(dad): “left! right! left right left! left, right, left right left!”
(demon): what was that noise?
(child): it was just the house ‘settling’…
(demon): f+$k off, no it wasn’t!… who the f+&k said you could come in here?!?!?!” have you ever heard of knocking, blast radius, or lights out, soldier?
(demon and child merging): don’t touch me… don’t touch me – don’t touch me don’t touch me don’t touch me don’t touch me!!!!!!!!
(demon and child as one): ha! ya like the pollock i made outta his f+%kin’ brains on the wall?!?! i told ‘im not to f+&in’ touch me!!! ever!!! eeny meeny, miny moe… catch a tigger by the toe… if he hollers, let him go… eeny, meeny, miny moe. we all fall down!!! we all fall dooowwnnn!!!!!!

[chorus 3]

if i forgive the sins of the father
will they live on through me?
if i begin the end of violence
the river’s blood will run clean
[outro]

eeny meeny, miny moe… catch a tigger by the toe… if he hollers, let him go… eeny, meeny, miny moe
