Silver Lining

Battered and courageous

All eyes on you

We made you some kind of God of war

On your back awaiting constant salivation

Straight from the snuff film cutting room floor

Shot by shot cry out, 'I've had enough'

The picture's not done 'til you lose a pint of blood



This is what I found in the wake

The message was scratched on the face of his grave

It goes: we will find the silver lining and make this our own

It goes: we will find the silver lining and make this our home



Where'd that pretty smile go?

You put it in a box and left it on the side of the road

Thanks for nothing

You watched the ball drop

Then made a wish on a burnt out star

When'd you lose control?

You woke up one day with swine all over your shore

We committed our army to you

Fearless leader, come see this through



Far from prophetic

No promise came true

We lost control, we lost control

Your name conjures an image of defeat

We lost control, we lost control



This is what I found in the wake

The message was scratched on the face of his grave

It goes: we will find the silver lining and make this our own

It goes: we will find the silver lining and make this our home



We lost control, we lost control, we lost control, we lost control
