Girls in Violence

from Something True by Jimmy Sky

about

Girls in Violence is a sonic depiction of biographical events, mostly related to trauma and societal expectation. Like the experiences related, the melody began in the writer's mind as a beautiful scene, but upon reflection, was darker and more painful than anyone cared to admit for a long time.

lyrics

In a beatific scene, a Mother washes her baby boy-child
He's big blue eyes, he's platinum like endless blue skies
Her hand is a vice, his airways are drowning in silence
She loses her nerve, he screams until Daddy breaks the door down

So his colours will always be blue and violet
Oh he smothers a beast in the back of his eyelids

She's a gossamer girl, he's in love from the moment he sees her
So bossy and proud, she builds him a home out of water
She tells him to trust, she closes his eyes with her free hand
Shoving him down, there's fire in his face and he's shrieking

So his lovers will always be girls in violence
Oh his lovers will always be girls in violence

Almost a man, a glitter-girl pays him attention
Lying alone, she begs him to be her detention
Faeries and chains, and bleeding do not go together
Maybe one day, but now just aborted emotion

So these covers will always be dyed in scarlet
And these angels were loudest in the mouth of a harlot
All his lovers will always be girls in violence
Oh his lovers will always be girls in violence

Men do not report
Men do not report
Men do not report
Men do not report

And the best retort is when they laugh you out of the station
When the pain distorts like tears into elation

Tried some taboo, and now they can strapon like lovers
She calls him a bitch, like maybe one day he'll become her
Dresses in drag, for a moment he's graceful and grateful
She beats him on back, with poison and bottles of bourbon

So his lovers will always be girls in violence
So his lovers will always be girls in violence
So his lovers will always be girls in violence
So his lovers will always be girls in violence
