Coercing or leaving
Shutting down and punishing
Running from rooms, defending
With-holding, justifying
These versions of violence
Sometimes subtle, sometimes clear
And the ones that go unnoticed
Still leave their mark once disappeared
Diagnosing, analyzing
Unsolicited advice
Explaning and controlling
Judging, opining and meddling
These versions of violence
Sometimes subtle, sometimes clear
And the ones that go unnoticed
Still leave their mark once disappeared
This labeling
This pointing
This sensitive's unraveling
This sting I've been ignoring
I feel it way down
Way down
These versions of violence
Sometimes subtle, sometimes clear
And the ones that go unnoticed
Still leave their mark once disappeared
