Violent Ends - Traces

It’s cold at sundown

Breathing air

That I can’t push back out

I should calm down

Best play of my hand

Cause silence is so loud

Would you notice, Would you notice me

If I’m falling, If I beg and plead for attention

Lord knows I need

Or Is glory, just another means

To the focus, oh, I guess I need

Would you notice, notice me

I won’t say I don’t care what they think of me

I won’t say I don’t want to be feared

Rest my faith in my name how they speak of it

Violent ends (violent ends)

I can’t be just a one on some jealous shit

I can’t be those who kill to be killed

Callously I won’t be insignificant

Violent ends (violent ends)

Hoping in time

All the severed spaces

Would come back aligned

And my confidence

Will set my heart right

All delight to fire when I fall back so vile

So I hold it, oh, I hold it deep

All the motives they could bury me

And I’m nervous, about what you’ll see

I won’t say I don’t care what they think of me

I won’t say I don’t want to be feared

Rest my faith in my name how they speak of it

Violent ends (violent ends)

I can’t be just a one on some jealous shit

I can’t be those who kill to be killed

Callously I won’t be insignificant

Violent ends (violent ends)

I don’t resemble

The look on my face

The same things I build up

The same things I break

It feels sentimental

To cage love away

The same things I build up

The same things I break

I won’t say I don’t care what they think of me

I won’t say I don’t want to be feared

Rest my faith in my name how they speak of it

Violent ends (violent ends)

I can’t be just a one on some jealous shit

I can’t be those who kill to be killed

Callously I won’t be insignificant

Violent ends (violent ends)
