Silent War Lyrics - Singles - A Fine Frenzy

Stifling, this day is stifling. 

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 the hardware store and the air was thick as paint 

Though I carried it on, I knew that I was wrong 

But I fight when I'm afraid 

And 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." 

But it speaks, it tugs and puddle-leaps, 

And bangs my ribs to pieces. 

Thoughts are the safe bet. 

We fought a silent war 

In the hardware store and the air was thick as paint 

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 Oh, how you raze me, oh, to the ground. 

And love, oh you brought me down 

with the sun of the ?? as you went out. 

The cause is the cure, now. 

We fought a silent war 

In the hardware store and the air was thick as paint 

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. 

"I'm sorry" 's all I meant to say.
