War When You Wake

from A Violent Peace by Esbern Snare

/

lyrics

Child, how you strain and your words they don't sound the same. It's a silent cage, locked in silent ways. With all your thoughts worn, what could be said plain of the world in your brain? For the world it is strange. You're slipping out the door, but you'll crawl back when you fall poor. May your feet find a place for your mind, a place for your kind. Child, they're away with their old friend decay, with a thief who is never late. They don't know restraint. And with your tears comes a war when you wake with a violent ache, for it's all you can take. A cloth a branch has worn, but you'll hold on as you are torn. May the trees find a place for your mind, a place for your kind.
