Violence in a Cute Font

[Verse 1] I put a smiley at the end So it doesn’t look like bleeding Say “it’s fine, don’t worry” When I’m already leaving I make a joke before the truth Can get too close to me Wrap the hurt in pretty paper Tie it up with irony [Pre-Chorus] I’m not angry, I’m adorable I’m not scared, I’m sweet I learned to make a weapon Out of looking incomplete [Chorus] I put my violence in a cute font Dot my knives with little hearts Say I’m fine, say it sweet While I’m falling apart I make my panic look pretty So you don’t see what it cost I put my violence in a cute font And call it being soft [Verse 2] I send a kiss before the cliff edge Add a sparkle to the threat Say “no pressure” like a prayer With my hands around my neck I can turn a missed reply Into a murder scene at noon Then apologize for dying Like I did it to hurt you [Pre-Chorus] I’m not bitter, I’m just funny I’m not sharp, I’m shy I learned to make the exit Before anyone says goodbye [Chorus] I put my violence in a cute font Dot my knives with little hearts Say I’m fine, say it sweet While I’m falling apart I make my panic look pretty So you don’t see what it cost I put my violence in a cute font And call it being soft [Post-Chorus] Aww, did I scare you? Sorry, I meant to disappear Aww, did I hurt you? Sorry, I was never here [Bridge] Maybe I’m not cruel Maybe I’m just trained To hear a door close And call it my name Maybe I’m not poison Maybe I’m not bad Maybe I kept smiling Cause it’s all I had But I don’t want to be the wound And the warning sign Don’t want to make you pay For what was never mine I don’t want to turn my fear Into something you must prove I just want to stop rehearsing Every way that I could lose [Final Chorus] I put my violence in a cute font Dot my knives with little hearts Say I’m fine, say it sweet While I’m falling apart But I’m learning how to say it Without dressing it in gloss I can still be soft and honest I can still be scared and not lost I put my violence in a cute font Cause I thought it made me safe Now I’m trying to be gentle Without hiding my face [Outro] No more little hearts on knives No more smiling through the cost I was never hard to love I was only scared and soft.
