Daughters Of The Revolution

You were the sun,

You were the fire

In my night sky.



We resolved each other's loose ends

To only untie ourselves

And split ways again

Just because you can

And you would have no qualm

With running back into his arms



For all your charms

And all your sadness

You drown me in your sweet madness



For all the words you'd say about me

Hold your tongue and go back to sleep

A little bit of release is not what you need



Go ahead and loose your reins

And suffer in shame 'cause you can't dispose

Of what you don't want to choose



Now could it be you, yeah

Now could it be you



Watch your step I'm digging in

You're slip sliding and sinking in

There's no reason, no regrets,

We're captains on a scuttled ship,

So dive right in

And save yourself



And tomorrow I'll find you've

Torn down these walls,

Nothing but the cause of my demise



And for the things you need

Save hypocrisy, save him or me

Lay me down, take me out

You can show me the door

Or you can just show me around

If you're looking for the answers



Don't shut me down

Don't lead me around,

Don't close me down 'cause



I've got something, something missing

Something killing, yeah you're such a mess

And work it out to bind me down



Yeah you're carnal rage,

Primal and caged.



I love the way you've struck my soul

Confused me whole, take a breath

And keep on running now



There's no use digging when you've got no ground

No ground to offer sleep,

No words to up and bury me



And I'm up in arms over your lack of heart

You've changed your mind so many times

And I'm sick of standing under no exit sign

This peril's all mine, yeah the flame's divine,

And I'd burn for you if it's what you wanted me to do

But I won't lose sleep if it's not me that you keep



And I wouldn't take anything that you gave me

Thoughts already riddle me, yes you divide me clean

And there's nothing I could steal,

Nothing that I could beg for that's real

'Cause it's all gone now and

I couldn't steal from a thief



If that's the way this has to end

Then cut my leash and let me mend

Repeat it, take away, string me back, prevent escape



The walls are gone, the sentiment's buried

My love for you is dead, how dare you still pretend

So take your shallow heart, and take your wounded love

And hang all of it out to dry

'Cause emptiness in love is the bitterest of lies

Empty out your head and leave the void you bought inside



My dear, you can't really find me at fault for this

Nothing's fair in love outside the lines

No, I can't lead a life that I cannot escape,

I said I can't put my faith in brighter days,

No, I can't burn a hole in your crashing plane,

And all I know is that where there's a will there's a way
