Gentle Violence

There's a gentle violence

Miles of silence

Separating

You and me

Crystal and covered

In the arms of a mother

I'm a child who cannot flutter myself free

Sons and daughters

Of rising waters

Hell is hotter

So they say

Maybe we'll find out

When our time's out

We keep living by the sword

Will we live another day?

The a gentle violence

Miles of silence

Separating

You and me

Crystal and covered

In the arms of a mother

I'm a child who cannot flutter myself free

Sometimes lately

I think of you leaving

Would my heart stop beating? Would I know to cry?

My mind is storming

3:00 in the morning

We are two warring nations

And we don't remember why

The a gentle violence

Miles of silence

Separating

You and me

Crystal and covered

In the arms of a mother

I'm a child who cannot flutter myself free

So while we revel

On ground unlevel

We give our devils

A place to hide

We're suicidal

Flags and false idols

And God's own precious guns

Won't ever turn back the tide

The a gentle violence

Miles of silence

Separating

You and me

Crystal and covered

In the arms of a mother

I'm a child who cannot flutter myself free

I'm a child who cannot flutter myself free
