[Verse 1] Cut my finger In open water Know the sharks coming Heart is beating faster Hear my words ring Out into silence What choice do I have? [Chorus] I can't can't k** it I can't can't k** it I'm not a man of violence [Verse 2] When the waves break Pull me under A moment's calm in a In a far away thunder Gasping for air In defiance
Feel my heart beat [Refrain] I'm not a man of violence I'm not a man of violence [Bridge] There's an island On the horizon A beacon of hope A chance at surviving The closer I get The stronger I feel Those beaches of gold They just might be real [Chorus] I can't can't k** it I can't can't k** it I'm not a man of violence
