I've been running for cover

Where there's none to find

There's no warmth in your blood

Even less in mine

Dragging forward through the war

With your reasons as guns

Drawing mine to define

The breath in my lungs

What's the harm if we never fall this deep in love?

Would it save the bloodshed of breaking off?

Cause if I am the serpent

Then you are the devil

If I am the devil, then you are a lecher

If i am the lecher, then you are a liar

Screaming and crying forever divided



What would we do with our laboring love

No one has all the answers

But feeling this way is leaving me scattered



Feeling so weak and powerless here in your arms.

Feeling less than sustained on my luck and charms.

In the field I'm reveal as a wounded boy.

But the battle won't end if I steal your joy.

( I'd just feel like a fool)



Whether venomous vengeance or poisonous pride

(when i am uncertain and you are unsettled)

We press on to engage verbal fire fights

(if I am the serpent, then you are the devil)

And it's burns like a bullet that strikes through the bone

(when screaming and crying avoid friendly fire)

It's the deepest in darkness we've ever known

(we'll sleep when there's silence, forever divided)

And I'm never quite sure how we'll get through the night

(when I am the serpent and you are the devil)

From the first or the last time we've lived and died

(we'll sleep when there's silence avoid friendly fire)



What would we do with our laboring love

No one has all the answers

But feeling this way is leaving me scattered



Feeling so weak and powerless here in your arms.

Feeling less than sustained on my luck and charms.

In the field I'm reveal as a wounded boy.

But the battle won't end if I steal your joy.

( I'd just feel like a fool)
