casualties of a non-war 

shooting themselves in the feet 

let me pray before you crush my heart 

and you swear that you do this in god's name 

stifling the psalms of the heart 

take your hands off my throat, let me breathe 

i'm suffocating 

you slash my wrist 

gave me a network 

and devoured my art 

broadcast worldwide healing those for a price 

and you swear that you do this in god's name 

stifling the psalms of the heart 

casualties of a non-war 

shooting themselves in the feet 

let me pray before you crush my heart 

let me breathe
