lyrics

Woke up and you're not a war
Close and rare. not gracefully,But There's
a peace to be made and a scourging'll stop
That hateful twin that lives in your skin
Is losing his taste for torture
an insurgent stillness A quiet blue beating the fires down
And the bells once madNow they low under the rain Like sleepy animals )
Wake up one day and you're not a war
Wake up one day and you're not a war
You crawled on your heart through a door while you slept
You woke up now and you're not a war
And with the teeth you save
You had been grinding away
A new type of photograph
You squeeze your eyes shut and laugh
When the shy rolled down
All tumbling angry well
It seemed just like your heart
Had been amplified
Kith and kin
This din and ruckus
You splitting apart at the steering wheel
Light on a gong
A Headwinded bird
A crack crawling through the window glass
Now your still and stunned
Now that its over
Like a prisoner to light or
A snake to sun
