War

Darling,
have you noticed there's smoke in the air,
there's this look in the eyes,
there's a knot in my hair
I cannot untangle
It's made by the wind of change.
Oh, look at them - who's to blame -
they all hide a knot in their hem.

Gelignite words.
Fingers on triggers.
Our hearts make us blind
when there's war in our mind.
And the people -
they cheer for the fire,
we're all gasping smoke,
but the stakes, they get higher.
Burn.
Gelignite words.
Our hearts make us blind.
As we hurt.
As we curb.
Flame.
I wander the streets,
long for fresh air in my lungs,
find some peace.

Your eyes full of fear
or is it myself that I see
If you're not to fire,
it's gonna be me.

Darling,
have you noticed there's smoke in the air,
there's this look in our eyes,
there's this knot in my hair
I cannot untangle
It's made by the wind of change.
Oh, look at us - who's to blame -
we'd both take a shot if we must..
