History of Violence
First light, first love
In spring
First rite, first blood
Virgin
Who writes, who writes the laws that
Hold my body down
Who writes, who writes the laws that
Put a hand over my mouth
My mouth
A history of violence
I bend my limbs
In bloom again
Run a thread down
Root to the ground
I'll never grow past
This frozen ground
I'll just sleep beneath the earth
Voice is buried in the dirt
You won't have to hear a word
We're just women
First time I rose
Raging
This passive pose
Changing
Who writes, who writes the laws that
Hold my body down
Who writes, who writes the laws that
Put a hand over my mouth
My mouth
A history of violence
I bend my limbs
In bloom again
Run a thread down
Root to the ground
I'll never grow past
This frozen ground
I thought if I spoke
A wall of sound
I thought if I said it out loud
We would twist and break and change
We did not, we're the same
Here as we sit
Just two women
Who survived it
Just two women
Who survived it
Just two women
Who survived it
Just two women
In spring
First rite, first blood
Virgin
Who writes, who writes the laws that
Hold my body down
Who writes, who writes the laws that
Put a hand over my mouth
My mouth
A history of violence
I bend my limbs
In bloom again
Run a thread down
Root to the ground
I'll never grow past
This frozen ground
I'll just sleep beneath the earth
Voice is buried in the dirt
You won't have to hear a word
We're just women
First time I rose
Raging
This passive pose
Changing
Who writes, who writes the laws that
Hold my body down
Who writes, who writes the laws that
Put a hand over my mouth
My mouth
A history of violence
I bend my limbs
In bloom again
Run a thread down
Root to the ground
I'll never grow past
This frozen ground
I thought if I spoke
A wall of sound
I thought if I said it out loud
We would twist and break and change
We did not, we're the same
Here as we sit
Just two women
Who survived it
Just two women
Who survived it
Just two women
Who survived it
Just two women
