Silent War lyrics

Stifling, this day is stifling.

You're sprawled out like a king

On the sheets of my queen-sized bed

And I'm too hot to lie beside,

possessed of idle mind.

this calm is a false friend.

Jealousy, I suspect jealousy.

Something is changing me

Real slow from the inside out.

It seems you mean too much to me,

Too much for comfort, see.

The cause is the cure, now.

We fought a silent war

In the hardware store and the air was thick as paint

Though I carried it on, I knew that I was wrong

But I fight when I'm afraid

And I come with guns a-blazing

Someone once (I forget who it was)

Said, "Do not think so much,

You can't hear what your heart says."

But it speaks, it tugs and puddle-leaps,

And bangs my ribs to pieces.

Thoughts are the safe bet.

We fought a silent war

In the hardware store and the air was thick as paint

Though I carried it on, I knew that I was wrong

But I fight when I'm afraid

My guns will come a-blazing,

A lesser man would be afraid

And Oh, how you raze me, oh, to the ground.

And love, oh you brought me down

with the sound of the shaming as you went out.

The cause is the cure, now.

We fought a silent war

In the hardware store and the air was thick as paint

Though I carried it on, I knew that I was wrong

But I fight when I'm afraid

With guns I come a-blazing,

A lesser man would break free.

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