  • Yeah, I'd rather be a lover than a fighter
    'Cause all my life, I've been fighting
    Never felt a feeling of comfort
    All this time, I've been hiding
    And I never had someone to call my own, oh nah
    I'm so used to sharing
    Love only left me alone
    But I'm at one with the silence

    I found peace in your violence
    Can't show me there's no point in trying
    I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long
    I found peace in your violence
    Can't show me there's no point in trying
    I'm at one, and I've been silent for too long

    I've been quiet for too long
    I've been quiet for too long

    I'm in need of a savior, but I'm not asking for favors
    My whole life, I've felt like a burden
    I think too much, and I hate it
    I'm so used to being in the wrong, I'm tired of caring
    Loving never gave me a home, so I'll sit here in the silence

    I found peace in your violence
    Can't show me there's no point in trying
    I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long
    I found peace in your violence
    Can't show me there's no point in trying
    I'm at one, and I've been silent for too long

    I've been quiet for too long
    I found peace in your violence
    Can't show me there's no point in trying
    I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long Writer/s: Khalid Robinson, Marshmello

  • Lonerock from AfricaThis song hits me in a special kind of way anytime am emotionally down. Its my favorite song..4 me it's a 10/10
  • Shade Afton from Mosheim TnI so love this song
  • Deby from NzThis song is probably very powerful 4 many people,i think. Once in a desperate situation it helped me just long enuff 2 stay emotionally alive and endure unavoidable trauma and loss. Music that meets Yr need or assists reawakening afta physical, emotional, or manipulative violence can be a whimsically private thing. But we neva 4get it don't u think?
  • Anne Brearley from Ct11 8pfI feel the silence has to be that long to appreciate that anything violent would create noise to wake up the silence in a lonely soul ..I've been there
    Absolutely awesome words
  • A Song Enthusiast from Who KnowsThis song’s pretty cool 10/10 would recommend
