Stiffling, This day is stiffling. 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 a hardware store And the air was thick as pain Though I carried it on I knew that I was wrong But I fight when I m afraid 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.
My heart speaks In tugs and puddle-leaps And bangs my ribs to pieces. Thoughts are the safe bet.
We fought a silent war in a hardware store And the air was thick as pain 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 how you razed me to the ground And how you wore me down With the sound of the shaming as you went out.
The cause is the cure now
We fought a silent war in a hardware store And the air was thick as pain 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 And sorry was all I meant to say.
