I Choose Violence Lyrics – Jax

You Told Me I Was Eighteen Going On Thirty-five
You Made Me Feel Like The Smartest Human Alive
I Thought I Was Clever, But, Were You Clever-er
You Said You Never Fell In Love Like You Did With Me
You Paid For All The Hotels, I Paid For Fake Id’s
To Spend The Last Ten Years Tryna Piece It Together

I Went To Therapy Religiously
I Never Sleep
I Made My Brother Promise Me He’d Let You Live
And I Guess I Could Forgive

So I Choose Violence, I Choose War
For All The Little Girls That Should Be Warned
I Could Choose Silence, But What For?
You Took My Innocence
Now I’ll Take Yours
So I Choose Violence
And I Might Die Tryin’

Now You’re Prolly Her World And She Won’t Understand
That All You Need Is A Girl To Feel Like A Man
Tell Your Friends She’s A Friend At Your Hometown Dive
But When You Were Thirteen She Wasn’t Alive
And By The Time You Were Eighteen, Well, That Girl Was Five
You Had A Teaching Degree While She Was Learnin’ How To Drive
And You’ll Make Her Feel Safe Like You Made Me Feel Safe
Like, Oh My God, You’re So Mature For Your Age
Except She’s Not Your Age

So I Choose Violence, I Choose War
For All The Little Girls That Should Be Warned
I Could Choose Silence, But What For?
You Took My Innocence
Now I’ll Take Yours

And You’ll Choose Hiding At Fourty-four
In Your Mothers House; She’ll Guard The Door
But I’ll Choose Anger, I’ll Choose Rage
When I Build An Army Of Girls Half Your Age, Oh

We’ll All Choose Violence, We’ll All Choose War
And Every Little Girl Will Be Warned
We Won’t Choose Silence, Not Anymore
You Took Our Innocence, Now We’ll Take Yours
So I Choose Violence
And I Maybe I’ll Die Trying
