lyrics

Now the war is over
Now the fight is done
Pull your bloody clothes off
Wait for day to come
Do not wait for friendship
Don't trust everyone
I just love to watch you
Sleeping in the sun

Now I can't remember
Where this all began
It's been just like a nightmare
Like walking through sand
No, I don't remember
Much of anything
And I know I'm going to make
The same mistakes again

Japanese colors,
Twisted in a grin
Wrestler in a clown suit
Trying to make a pin
There are lots of mindless puppeteers
Making your head spin
Trying to convince you that
Your soul is made of tin

Take me to the seashore
Take me to the beach
Love me like you're angry
Love me like a leach
I've got nothing to learn
And I've got nothing to teach
I love to watch your silhouette
Dancing out of reach

It all comes from the same place
Deep within my heart
Fear blends in to anger
And anger into art
Don't tell me that I'm stupid
Don't tell me that I'm smart
Sketch me in the darkness
And watch me fall apart

Now the war is over
Now the fight is done
Pull your bloody clothes off
Wait for day to come
Do not wait for friendship
Don't trust everyone
I just love to watch you
Sleeping in the sun
