Language of the Living Dead

(be)come (a)part
It's a case of convictions
A magnetic play with a negative spin
After all we've tried
It makes too much difference
We speak in too many different tongues

You're like a stranger trying to connect with me
And we always fail but keep trying
And we're washed away on a desert sea
You say more you say less
All at once

A loving start
We undressed like children
Or maybe love's just a second thought
You say
The signs come a round and they'll calm us down
I say
No one comes around until the bombs hit home

This conversation is a masquerade
Slip in and out
Of silence
'cause everything we say will send us straight to the grave
Dark tides
Come in
Once again

Once before
And once again
We make the beds we're lying in
Turn away when I turn to you
The dreams i have are not my own
The sounds of war sound just like home
One more silent casualty

(be)come (a)part
It's a case of convictions
A contract signed
With a second-hand swing
And after all
We've tried
It makes too much difference
Whatever's between us is dancing blind

Come closer now and don't speak to me
Take shelter here in silence
And when we kiss we can't say a thing
Our mouths pressed shut in a cease-fire

Once before
And once again
We make the beds we're lying in
Turn away when I turn to you
The dreams i have are not my own
The sounds of war sound just like home
One more silent casualty

And in a time that never was
We almost came together then
We're two stars cut from casualties
