A Fine Frenzy - Silent War lyrics

rate me

<br>

Stifling, this day is stifling.<br />

You're sprawled out like a king<br />

On the sheets of my queen-sized bed<br />

<br />

And I'm too hot to lie beside,<br />

possessed of idle mind.<br />

this calm is a false friend.<br />

<br />

Jealousy, I suspect jealousy.<br />

Something is changing me<br />

Real slow from the inside out.<br />

<br />

It seems you mean too much to me,<br />

Too much for comfort, see.<br />

The cause is the cure, now.<br />

<br />

We fought a silent war<br />

In the hardware store and the air was thick as paint<br />

Though I carried it on, I knew that I was wrong<br />

But I fight when I'm afraid<br />

<br />

And I come with guns a-blazing<br />

<br />

Someone once (I forget who it was)<br />

Said, "Do not think so much,<br />

You can't hear what your heart says."<br />

<br />

But it speaks, it tugs and puddle-leaps,<br />

And bangs my ribs to pieces.<br />

Thoughts are the safe bet.<br />

<br />

We fought a silent war<br />

In the hardware store and the air was thick as paint<br />

Though I carried it on, I knew that I was wrong<br />

But I fight when I'm afraid<br />

<br />

My guns will come a-blazing,<br />

A lesser man would be afraid<br />

<br />

And Oh, how you raze me, oh, to the ground.<br />

And love, oh you brought me down<br />

with the sun of the ?? as you went out.<br />

<br />

The cause is the cure, now.<br />

<br />

We fought a silent war<br />

In the hardware store and the air was thick as paint<br />

Though I carried it on, I knew that I was wrong<br />

But I fight when I'm afraid<br />

<br />

With guns I come a-blazing,<br />

A lesser man would break free.<br />

"I'm sorry" 's all I meant to say.
