Through a comical twist of fate,
I have somehow shorn my senses
Landed myself in this place
It's laughable to think
Or maybe that's just coming from the hours lost to lack of sleep
From battles being fought
Against the constant pressure of your thoughts
Salvage your story from the night
Printing propaganda just to prove yourself right
But you’re completely unaware that everybody here
Has witnessed walking wounded carried home
They showed up just in time back from the battle lines
And each has got a story like mine
You can’t even see the blood you’re bound to spill for the ink
You can’t even see the blood you’re bound to spill for the ink
And everyone’s involved, everyone’s involved
So what will you do
When the bayonets are aiming back at you?
They'll fire right on cue and you'll have lost
Everything we are (everything we are)
For everything we are (everything we are)
And all we could have been
You can't even see the blood you’re bound to spill for the ink
You can't even see the blood you’re bound to spill for the ink
It's laughable to think
Or maybe it’s just a lack of sleep

The red tint on your lips
The way you’re gyrating your hips
My eyes are focused
My eyes are popping out of my head
You move so slowly
I feel like I'm falling off the earth
I guess I’m lucky
At least I know what it’s like to be worth
Something you want, something you have
Take this opening
I’m just hoping that you
Won’t bring me down
Again and again
The world stops turning
Apparently so does my breath
I haven’t noticed
The stars and I could never have guessed
The moon is full now
It guides me to the softness of your skin
Heartbeats in motion
Never imagined it quite this
Lay you down so we can spend the night
Take this opening
I’m just hoping that you
won’t bring me down
Again and again
