Bio

Lyrics

(Verse)
Words to weapons in speech and ink
Change behaviors and ways you think
If you need them you can find them
They’re coming from the back of your mind

Silence deadly, if she needs
Space, a vacuum for your pleads
If you find you’re not at ease
Words can bring you violence
From a darker place in your mind
Silence can break your peace

(Chorus)
Now you’re weaponized
Take your prize

(bridge)
When adrenaline rises
The words, they speak themselves
When adrenaline rises
They words, they show and tell

(Verse)
You’ve got words saved up for me
I’m your pawn
Your favorite piece
No, you’re never at peace

Words, they bring you violence
Coming from the dark of your mind
The silence, breaks the peace

(Chorus)
Now you’re weaponized
Take your prize
