Greg Fidelman - A.O.V. (Approaching Original Violence) lyrics

[Verse 1] Black, dirty teeth, in the crease Was the proof too good to be believed? It's the c*nt with the tongue Who belongs on broken knees So far, it occurs to me that everybody in the world is Afraid of me Just one more sin and down we go But the news is out and I think I'm going to k** myself, or f** myself, or tell nyself about the only thing that matters now [Chorus 1] We bury what we fear the most — Approaching original violence Is the silence where you hide it? ‘Cause I don't recognize you anymore To each his own… Life can do with one less watered-down excuse …If this is over, you can tell me it's no use USE- JUST TELL ME IT'S OVER [Verse 2] Today, we will deceive our better selves into Assimilating pain from something else Put on your face and show me why Behind the scenes we had to simply comply Now, the community doesn't feel any better than it used to be I want to be a judge in a criminal case — you covered up Did you cultivate? Be yourself, not yourself Know yourself. ‘Cause no one seems to know you now [Chorus 2] We carry what we can't control — Approaching original violence In the silence, there's a nihilist… who doesn't care and never did To each his own… Life can do with one less watered-down excuse …There comes a time where we can't take the same abuse …If this is over, you can tell me it's no use… USE [Verse 3] Drug out, pissed on, everything's the same b**h and moan, it doesn't matter, nothing's going to change I don't want to watch another brother f**ing die — so discarded, fallen by the side — Don't tell me it's the only way — just another reason why you never take the bait The trials, the scheming, the Burden of the Beast Both your faces turn your back on everything you fought to save a dream Now that it's over… when this is over… [Chorus 3] We are the angels' fear to tread Approaching original violence We're the silence. We'll deny it. We can't continue on like this To each his own… Life can do with one less watered-down excuse …There comes a time where we can't take the same abuse My God, it would've taken just one word to stay from you Now that this is over, you can tell me it's no use… Now that this is over, you can tell me it's no use… USE — JUST TELL ME IT'S OVER [Outro] It doesn't matter what you say. It doesn't matter what you do We can't continue on like this
