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.
