Silence in the streets
But in my head there's war
I'm holding my breath as the night reveals its core
Great tensions along the border
Heavily armed units are moving in
International observers warn of a possible escalation
I've forgotten murder whispers and whispers
But it collapses under the weight of truth
I just want to save our little world
But the sky bleeds red at every sunrise
Tell me we'll make it
Tell me the storm will pass by
Tell me you'll stay here
Even as the world breaks at the spine
Hold me tight before the shadows swallow us
Before the lies bury all of us
Before the fear tears everything apart
I'm screaming out cause I can't watch you leave
Not for a war that makes us bleed
Not for a night that circles endlessly
Hold me tight
Hold me tight
Families are fleeing the region
Military forces continue to advance
The government has called up reservists
There's a weight on my shoulders
A tremor in my skin
Every single dawn
They want you to go to carry a weapon
For choices we never made
And I pray you can hear me
Through the panic and the noise
When I call your name
Cause how do I explain to our kids
Why you vanished overnight
And who's left to take your place
If thou to me will make it
Even if the borders burn
Tell me we'll make it
Even if the borders burn
Tell me you'll stay
Tell me we won't lose everything in return
Hold me tight before the shadows swallow us
Before the lies bury all of us
Before the fear tears everything apart
I'm screaming out cause I can't watch you leave
Not for a war that makes us bleed
Not for a night that circles endlessly
Hold me tight
Hold me tight
And when the world goes quiet
You're my last remaining light
I'll carry us through the dark
But please
Don't ever let my hand slip
Explosions were reported this morning
The situation continues to escalate
Diplomatic efforts have so far failed
I'm done with all the voices
Telling us to stay silent
Done with all the powers
Deciding what we lose
I'll shout until they hear it
He belongs with me
And I'll fight for the day
He stays
We stay
We stay
We stay
He stays
Hold me tight before the shadows swallow us
Before the lies bury all of us
Before the fear tears everything apart
I'm shouting out cause I can't watch you leave
Not for a war that makes us bleed
Not for a night that circles endlessly
Hold me tight
Hold me tight
Hold me tight
Please stay
