HERE FOR THE VIOLENCE

V5.5

[VERSE 1] I showed up bored and left covered in blood Story of my life, honestly Everybody staring like they want a problem Then acting shocked when I agree Kick drum rattling through my ribs Cheap lights making everybody ugly Somebody shoves me in the bathroom line Cool. Now we're finally doing something [PRE-CHORUS] You want chaos? I can do chaos You want ugly? Baby, I brought it with me [CHORUS] I'm not here for redemption I'm here for the violence Teeth bared pretty in the strobe lights flashing Whole room shaking God, I love this feeling Like my body finally stopped pretending Hands up Hit first I make bad nights look rehearsed I'm not here for redemption I'm here for the violence [VERSE 2] Everybody's filming on their shitty phones Like trauma turns cinematic at the right angle Some guy yelling that I need help Yeah? Get in line, asshole Nose running red in the sink again Mascara halfway down my face I look best a little destroyed Like something people should stay away from [PRE-CHORUS] You came to watch So fucking watch I can feel the room wanting me dangerous [CHORUS] I'm not here for redemption I'm here for the violence Black boots sticking to the floor from spilled drinks and bad intentions Whole room shaking Speakers blown open Everybody wants the wreckage Til the wreckage starts moving Hands up Hit first I make self-destruction look immersive I'm not here for redemption I'm here for the violence [BRIDGE] I spent years trying to soften myself For people who only loved me manageable That shit gets old If you came for the spectacle Then choke on it [FINAL CHORUS] I'm not here for redemption I'm here for the violence No halo left, no fake apology to hide behind Whole room screaming Finally honest Everybody wants a monster Until the monster wants it too Hands up Hit first Let me make this hurt on purpose I'm not here for redemption I'm here for the violence
