I AM THE VIOLENCE. I come from out of nowhere, and that’s where I’m heading. I have no sense, no rhyme nor reason – yet you’ll dance for me. I am the mob mentality, waving the flaming torches. I am the violence. I am the air raid siren song playing the pied piper. I am the violence. I have no face, no needs, no desires, no heart that can be stilled. I have no hands, no rage, no compassion, no blood that can be spilled. I am as useless as a knife without the hand to wield it. I am the trigger, but you are the finger – we each need the other. I am the red right hand of law. I am the true pornography. I am the violence. I am the cancer in your soul. I am the homegrown alien. I am the violence… and I am nothing without you… and I am nothing without you.
