Versions Of Violence — Alanis Morissette

Coercing or leaving Shutting down and punishing Running from rooms, defending Withholding, justifying

These versions of violence Sometimes subtle sometimes clear And the ones that go unnoticed Still leave their mark once disappeared

Diagnosing, analyzing Unsolicited advice Explaining and controlling, Judging opining and meddling

These versions of violence Sometimes subtle sometimes clear And the ones that go unnoticed Still leave their mark once disappeared

This labeling This pointing this sensitive's unraveling This sting I've been ignoring I feel it way down way down

These versions of violence Sometimes subtle sometimes clear And the ones that go unnoticed Still leave their mark once disappeared
