A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE
music & lyrics: Aaron Rom

I hope no one can see the join

New name new face and not a hair out of place
Fresh start look the part and wear the smile
A new me you’ll see as I engage the day
Chin up face out slow burn all the while

This can’t be happening

Rip off the mask
Reveal yourself
The urge you can’t contain
Unstitched tick twitch unleashed uncontrollable
Uncoil your history of violence

Can’t come undone better hide the truth
Dig down deep down push the past away
Inside I need to hide the secrets that I keep
Full strength just to hold the demons at bay

Don’t let this fall apart

Rip off the mask
Reveal yourself
The urge you can’t contain
Unstitched tick twitch unleashed uncontrollable
Uncoil your history of violence

Sideways glances
Can they see right through me
Awkward exchanges
Betray that I’m not what I appear to be
Will I weather this storm
I think it’s taken a turn
Try to keep control or be destroyed
Familiar urges start to burn

solo: Geoff Allen

Rip off the mask
Reveal yourself
The urge you can’t contain
Unstitched tick twitch unleashed uncontrollable
Uncoil your history of violence
Rip off the mask
Reveal yourself
Unwind your history of violence
