Silent War Songtext

von A Fine Frenzy

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 sun of the? 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.
