The Cold War - Slowly Slowly

You say it all with an ease

Like you don’t think it means nothing to me

Like I’m not a creature

Who dwells on the cuts

Who pulls them back open

Just to fill them all up

With concrete

Sink in slow

I’m drunk in Siena

Not that you’d ever know

The Cold War was just me

And the harsh light of day

Feels like its coming to take me again

All your words were too sweet

So the chess pieces fell at your feet

And I scraped all my skin on the rough bricks at home

To hide all the evidence, so they’d never know

What I was

What I knew

You were down in the dumps

Clutchin' footholds and lumps

The Cold War, sways in time

She builds and she falls, on the slay tiled holes again

I am filled with regret

Decisions I made that I didn’t even get

And you told me you loved me

We rehearsed all the way

Said I had two choices

You can kill me or stay

So I caved

Saved the day

Manipulated into someone

That I hate today

The Cold War

Was just me

Deployed until now that I’ve come to claim me again

Push up on me

Make me guilty

Make me feel like I pushed the knife

Thought I buried

Thought I covered

Now you’re on me like a bug on a light

Push up on me

Make me guilty

Make me feel like I pushed the knife

Thought I buried

Thought I covered

Now you’re on me like a bug on a light

And I’m watching from my satellites

And I can see you changing and you’re alright

You’re alright

Push up on me

Make me guilty

Make me feel like I pushed the knife

Thought I buried

Thought I covered

Now you’re on me like a bug on a light

And I’m watching from my satellites

And I can see you changing and you’re alright
