Lionrock - Peace Repackaged lyrics

rate me

The bottles are all empty, the potion’s gone<br />

Powers promised like the dawn, it just won't carry on<br />

I leave the empties on the doorstep, to be filled by time<br />

Is he a wizard or a teacher? Is she a friend of mine?<br />

<br />

I left a note and signed with haste<br />

Give me a packet of peace to taste<br />

And if you're willing, an extra crate<br />

Of any power to combat hate<br />

<br />

'Cause though I heard that hate brings pain<br />

And I need love to take the strain<br />

A parcel of extra blessing<br />

To keep my days from guessing<br />

<br />

Oh teach me<br />

The words won't turn the way I ask them<br />

Oh reach me<br />

Show faces true before I pass them<br />

<br />

And all the world is out of key<br />

And it shrinks inside me<br />

So many faces to be friends<br />

When all the madness ends<br />

<br />

I'll leave my mind beneath the mat<br />

So you can let yourself in<br />

If you can stand the mess then stay<br />

But I'm not entertaining<br />

<br />

I feel the richness of our days<br />

Are like smoke to hold<br />

I'd make a paper heart to love you<br />

If I knew where to fold<br />

<br />

But I must sit and just keep trying<br />

Until I see the shape I seek<br />

Because I must learn to sculpt the strength<br />

For everyday that I'm weak<br />

<br />

Oh teach me<br />

The storms won't turn the way we aim them<br />

Oh reach me<br />

The dreams grow wild before we tame them
