Alison Sudol - Silent War lyrics

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 a 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

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 in tugs and puddle leaps
And bangs my ribs to pieces
Thoughts are the safe bet

We fought a silent war in a 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 how you razed me to the ground
And how you brought me down
With the sound of the shaming as you went out

The cause is the cure now

We fought a silent war in a 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" was all I meant to say
