Description
Love is like a beautiful weapon of mass destruction. On the outside - silk, eyelashes, the scent of vanilla, and promises that "everything will be fine." Inside are shards, blades, and carefully hidden "you're to blame." Everything seems to be by mutual agreement, but then why does the pain feel so personal? It seems the feelings here are just a side effect of a war that both sides gave up on long ago, but they keep shooting out of habit. And it's beautiful, damn it. Even when blood is part of the makeup.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Self-admitted therapy won't break these chains. I'm just a product of societal necessity.
Tried to escape, but I keep losing blood.
My face is buried, but I'm haunted by my cruelty. I don't know why I keep breaking my own promises.
I don't know why I let fear outweigh the journey to escaping my own lies.
It takes too long to realize I don't know why I. . .
Don't act like I don't try. I'm not the monster in it all.
Don't act like you don't lie. I'm not the monster in it all.
I don't wanna break your heart no more. I don't wanna make excuses for.
I don't wanna leave when you're all I'm fighting for.
Violent scene in a pretty dress. I thought you loved me, your perfect centerpiece.
How could you say that you'd be better off without me?
You want apologies, I want a family. But you waste three years 'cause, 'cause you won't question anything.
Don't act like I don't try. I'm not the monster in it all.
Don't act like you don't lie. I'm not the monster in it all.
I don't wanna break your heart no more. I don't wanna make excuses for.
I don't wanna leave when you're all I'm fighting for.
Violent scene in a pretty dress. Come steal the ink once more.
But I can keep pretending behind closed doors. Forget it's all roses when it's just the petals.
Violent scene in a pretty dress.
You want my silence. You want my silence. You want my silence. You want my violence.
Yeah.
You want, you want.
Violent scene in a pretty dress.
