歌词
Violence never seemed to mean
The dirty word people claimed it to be
Until I saw her take the mound her smile spreading fear around
With bat in hand I took my stance refusing any backward glance
I stared her down in pure defiance inviting the incoming violence
And she struck me
Now I'm switching in and out of my daydreams
All the nightmares that I've tried to keep inside me
Are pushing their way out
And the voices of the ones she's taken happily ring joyless
In my head as I miss my swing, guess my choice is
Somewhere between my violent past and my new team
The dugout calls me over so I turn away from hell closing my eyes
The demons there aren't half as bad as the idol they brought back
But I feel assurance behind me
A whisper of of violence, supportive and guiding
And from up close that smile of fear
Away from the fans gives way to tears
And she struck me
Now I'm switching in and out of my daydreams
All the nightmares that I've tried to keep inside me
Are pushing their way out
And the faces of the ones she took unwittingly come racing
In my head as I see her crumble, guess my choice is
Somewhere between my violent past and my new team
She always steps out on the field
And shows the whole world that she feels okay
When she's not okay
Her team's the only ones who get to see
She's breaking apart from all the pain she brings
Is this worth it, is she worth it
Now she's struck me
And she's switching in and out of my daydreams
All the nightmares that I've fought to keep inside me
Are melting when I look into her eyes
And the fire of the ones she's lost so brutally burns brighter
In my heart as I see her fight, guess my choice is
Somewhere between my violent past and my new team
♪
And she's struck me
Now she's switching in and out of her home team
And she's staring down the god who's cost her everything
And refusing to back down
And the echoes of the ones that we've all lost begin to ring low
Through the mic as she disappears, guess my choice is
Somewhere between my violent past and the null team
