Violence is a spiral

I keep spinning down

Peace is a fantasy

I’ve never found

And I crave chaos

Every day here a war

War in streets

War in the ring

War in the prison yard

No one survives without scars

Keep your mouth shut - Owe no one nothing

Back down from a threat – they know you’re bluffing

Violence is a spiral

I keep spinning down

Peace is a fantasy

I’ve never found

Retaliation

Every day here a test

Learn the guards’ rules

Learn the gangs’ rules

Learn the monk’s psalm

No one survives without scars

Keep your mouth shut - Owe no one nothing

Back down from a threat – they know you’re bluffing

Violence is a spiral

I keep spinning down

Peace is a fantasy

I’ve never found

No fucking peace

Forget mercy

No fucking peace

Forget mercy
