Bright Eyes - Make War Lyrics

Our love is dead but without limit, like the surface of the moon
Or the land between here and the mountains
And it is not these hiding places that have kept us innocent
But the way you taught me to just watch it all roll by

So we have learned to be as faithless, stand behind bulletproof glass
Exchanging our infections through a drawer
It was always horribly convenient and happening too fast
You should count your change before you are even out the door

Oh, yes, you should

But please, return, return to the person that you were
And I will do the same
'Cause it's too hard to belong to someone who is gone
My compass spins, the wilderness remains

Oh, once too often, I have retreated into the depths of my despair
I built a barricade to block you on the road
I was standing there with all of my possessions
Piled higher than a house
And I felt closer to you than you ever would have known

So let each tiny act of charity be common ground
On which to build, the monument that will commemorate our times
And though you swear you've found another
Who will surely speed you on your way
Don't let the forest glow over that path you came there by

But you will, so

So hurry up and run to the one that you love
And blind him with your kindness and he'll make war, oh war
On who you were before
And claim all that has spoiled in your heart

Alright boys, help me out

Now, I tell myself I've mended under these patches of blue sky
There's still a few holes that let in a little rain
And it's been crying on my shingles, the floorboards moan under my feet
The refrigerator is whining, so I've got reason to complain

But I'm not gonna bless you with such compliments
Some degrading psalm of praise
Like the kind that converted you to me so long ago

Because the truth is that gossip is as good as gospel in this town
You can save face but you won't ever save your soul
Baby, that's a fact

So, hurry up and run to the one that you love
And tie him up in your likeness and he'll become, become
The prisoner I was and know all that has spoiled in your heart

Ya, he's a know it all
He'll know all that has spoiled in your heart

So hurry up and run, to the one that you love
And blind him with your kindness and he'll make war, oh war
On who you were you before
And know all that has spoiled in your heart
Yeah, he'll claim all that has spoiled in your heart
