lyrics

You went to war today, I think you lost the fight
You marched in crazy circles, no one got it right
So long, so far, no one asked for this but
Now here you are and you’re not loosening your fist
Two feet, one road; how far will sadness take us?
One beat, too slow; how hard will madness shake us?

Oh not since the earthquakes did ocean learn how to lose their tempers
Remember
I know part of you still wrestles with those waves
Don’t let them tell you to behave
They don’t know what it takes to be brave
No one knows how much you gave

This is not a battle cry; We are not soldiers
There are not the stories you wanted written ‘cross your shoulders
And I could be wrong but I think we’re getting older
You found home in the pain of flames and let them smoulder

The blood’s been wiped away, you’ve tied the bandage tight
It’s pretty nasty but I guess you’ll be alright
So long sweet accidental friend of mine
Cut yourself loose, and give them nothing, not this time
I owe you something of an accidental smile
I’ll stay with you for a while

Oh not since the earthquakes did oceans forget how to surrender
Remember
All these years, and still, you push with all your might
And still, it wakes you in the night
This war you never meant to fight
Will we ever be all right?

This is not a battle cry; We are not soldiers
There are not the stories you wanted written ‘cross your shoulders
And I could be wrong but I think it’s getting colder
You found home in the pain of flames, home in the pain of flames, you’re home in the pain of flames… wish I could put out the fire.
