I am out for a walk
I am out for a walk
And I will not be back 'til they're staining my skin
And I will not be back 'til they're staining my skin
This is how I chose to talk
This is how I chose to talk
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
Every night I do walk
Every night I do walk
And if they're looking down, I'm offering my chin
And if they're looking down, I'm offering my chin
This is how I chose to talk
This is how I chose to talk
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
There's a way to truly be seen
There's a way to truly be seen
By furiously skimming in
By furiously skimming in
Forget the jewels, I'm livid
Forget the jewels, I'm livid
Veins are jutting out fine on their own
Veins are jutting out fine on their own
Blood on my cheeks, birds come by
Blood on my cheeks, birds come by
One of my stomps and they fly
One of my stomps and they fly
People politely smile to make sure I won't come any closer
People politely smile to make sure I won't come any closer
I am out for a walk
I am out for a walk
And I will not be back 'til they're staining my skin
And I will not be back 'til they're staining my skin
This is how I chose to talk
This is how I chose to talk
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
Every night I do walk
Every night I do walk
And if they're looking down, I'm offering my chin
And if they're looking down, I'm offering my chin
This is how I chose to talk
This is how I chose to talk
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
Now a swollen eye is for days
Now a swollen eye is for days
Of curious calm, snow in May
Of curious calm, snow in May
Way better off on my own
Way better off on my own
Since no one cries, there's no one to blame
Since no one cries, there's no one to blame
It hurts, I feel everything
It hurts, I feel everything
As my sense of self's wearing thin
As my sense of self's wearing thin
Such pains can be a delight
Such pains can be a delight
Far from when I could drown in my shame
Far from when I could drown in my shame
I am out for a walk
I am out for a walk
And I will not be back 'til they're staining my skin
And I will not be back 'til they're staining my skin
This is how I chose to talk
This is how I chose to talk
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
Every night I do walk
Every night I do walk
And if they're looking down, I'm offering my chin
And if they're looking down, I'm offering my chin
This is how I chose to talk
This is how I chose to talk
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
Say now
Say now
I chose to talk with violent hits, blossoms again
I chose to speak with fierce blows, blooms once more
Say now
Say now
I chose to talk with violent hits, blossoms again
I chose to speak with fierce blows, blooms once more
Say now
Say now
I chose to talk with violent hits, blossoms again
I chose to speak with fierce blows, blooms once more
Say now
Say now
I chose to talk with violent hits, blossoms again
I chose to speak with fierce blows, blooms once more
