The Cold War

Lyrics

You say it all with an ease Like you don't think it means nothing to me Like I'm not a creature Who dwells on the cuts Who pulls them back open Just to fill them all up With concrete Sink in slow I'm drunk in Siena Not that you'd ever know The Cold War was just me And the harsh light of day Feels like its coming to take me again All your words were too sweet So the chess pieces fell at your feet And I scraped all my skin on the rough bricks at home To hide all the evidence, so they'd never know What I was What I knew You were down in the dumps Clutchin' footholds and lumps The Cold War, sways in time She builds and she falls, on the slate tiled halls again I am filled with regret Decisions I made that I didn't even get And you told me you loved me We rehearsed all the way Said I had two choices You can kill me or stay So I caved Saved the day Manipulated into someone That I hate today The Cold War Was just me Deployed until now that I've come to claim me again Push up on me Make me guilty Make me feel like I pushed the knife Thought I buried Thought I covered Now you're on me like a bug on a light Push up on me Make me guilty Make me feel like I pushed the knife Thought I buried Thought I covered Now you're on me like a bug on a light And I'm watching from my satellites And I can see you changing and you're alright You're alright Push up on me Make me guilty Make me feel like I pushed the knife Thought I buried Thought I covered Now you're on me like a bug on a light And I'm watching from my satellites And I can see you changing and you're alright
