the war

and this is how the war will start
i'll aim an arrow at your heart
the anti-venom on the tip
will cause your blindfolds all
to slip away
and love will be the ICU
and the staff with all the tools
to suture up your wounds
and nurse you back to health
and love will be the team
guiding you through therapy
there to catch you if your hand should slip
from the beam
and this is how the war will start
it's not about my broken heart
it's all about the fight for
peace so we can heal
and i can see you're very smart
so reassemble all the parts
that let you feel
and you will see that love is real
and while you're on the mend
love will be your oxygen
and the distant sounds of trains
that will guide you off to sleep
and love is all the rays of light
that wake you up after the night
that let us see and keep us all
warm throughout the day
and love is all the earth beneath
not just the place we keep our feet
it's the horizon that we see
it is where we land

i say "yes"
03:50

chorus:
you ask me if i want this or that and i say "yes"
i ask you which one is correct and you say "this is not a test"
you just want me to follow the organs in my chest
and to do so until i'm put to rest
1:
so many decisions about what i'm gonna do
today or tomorrow but they lead me back to you
i am just a vagrant so i know nothing of home
i somehow find direction as i roam
the sun is always rising to help me find the east
and sets in the west when i forget
the stars that line the northern sky have never told a lie
the south tells me there's nothing to regret
2:
the water in the river isn't flowing one direction
it flows across itself to keep from being lost out in the sea
at times the water rages but it needs no correction
i wonder if the water is like me
in search of you i cast my eyes up to the angels
and all i see is blackness but the stars
but it is an illusion when light is all around us
and space is only time that we're apart
3:
how can i trust my focus with my glasses broken?
how can i trust my ears when i feel deaf?
i somehow trust my heart when it tells me that i love you
but my mouth can only say it when you've left
my mind is just a cavern, full of darkness never ending
a darkness that projects just like a light
my heart is like an ocean, vast and all accepting
and it knows that it has room for you tonight.
