Viol

 













Viol


[Chorus 1]

Play this violin

Pluck with care

Use your bow

if you dare


[Verse 1]

These spruce and maple curves

Hold magic in hollow reserves

Empty space becomes the sound

Play these strings round and round


[Chorus 2]

I’m this violin

Pluck with care

Use your bow

if you dare


[Verse 2]

Strings pulled tight;

they ache to sing.

Tension tells truth,

in everything.


Draw your bow, 

take steady aim.

Strokes fly as arrows,

These notes . . . won’t be tamed.


[Chorus 1 & 2]


[Bridge x 2]

Intensify her vibration

Personify pure violation


[Chorus 2]


[Interlude]

This violin needs violence.

So violate . . . this violin.


[Verse 3]

I’ll sing for violence.

I’m your violin.

These strings need violence.

So violate . . . this violin.


[Aside]

Come and pluck this string;

Make the empty hollow sing.


[Verse 4]

Caress these strings.

Your bow brings

Tension and release.

Play these strings.


[Outro: Chorus + Interlude]
