[Verse 1]
Every word is an enemy
From my mouth, piling at my feet
Bullet shells, I am ankle deep
In a feeling that I cannot keep
[Verse 2]
I am locked inside this cage
All my words running from the page
And the same words that we spoke
Fill the air like the cannon smoke
[Chorus 1]
I heard the answer come like a thief in the night, a thief in the night
I heard the darkness grows before the light, before the light
I know it seems like there is no end in sight, no end in sight
I know the wind will blow, but we'll be alright, we'll be alright
[Verse 3]
Turning over every stone and tree
Looking for something to set me free
Something that I cannot seem to find
In the minefield we left behind
[Verse 4]
All is fair, remember you had said
There's a battlefield inside my head
I can't retreat from all that I have done
And there's nowhere left that I can run
[Chorus 2]
I heard the cannons sound across the night, across the night
I saw the fire grow inside your eyes, inside your eyes
I know it seems like there is no end in sight, no end in sight
But the only thing I know is that we'll be alright, we'll be alright
