    First pressing of 'The Perfect Violence', our debut album.

lyrics

I bite my tongue
Until it bleeds
I fight myself
It feels sewn in
I shock myself
To make my heart beat
I hoped to be good
But I see you scream

All you ever wanted was someone to love
All I ever needed was someone to trust
I was built to love you
So why do you run
Yes I was built to love you
So where have you gone

I run after you
But never find home
They chase me away
I shiver I roam
I shock myself
To make my heart beat
I try to be good
But I see them scream



All you ever wanted was someone to love
All I ever needed was someone to trust
I was built to love you
So why do you run
Yes I was built to love you
So where have you gone

You never meant to throw her in the lake
You didn’t know what it might take
You carried her all the way back home
You didn’t know that she would break

All you ever wanted was someone to love
All I ever needed was someone to trust
I was built to love you
So why do you run
Yes I was built to love you
So where have you gone
All you ever wanted was someone to love
All I ever needed was someone to trust
I was built to love you
So why do you run
Yes I was built to love you
So where have you gone

I was built to love you
So where have you gone
I was built to love you
So where have you gone
Where have you gone
Where have you gone?
