Envelope

I watch the cars go by, the kids play in the yard
Before I bite my last bullet, I think I'll write that life is hard
A cup of coffee before I'm singing what I mean
Sudden feel of trembling before the bomb hits the marine

I can ease the pain and then I'll leave you in the rain
The walls I'll build up trying to defend you

Before the sunrise, on a cloud up in the sky
I'll mix the chaos with some sadness for my afternoon tea
In watching silver screens, I'm tearing at the seams
As I wonder what would happen after a fatal disease

This won't ease the pain, I've lost myself inside the rain
The walls I've built up trying to defend you

I watch the sunbeams, feel the warmth drawn in the room
Feels like the first time I saw heaven, as heaven wouldn't loom
I'll take what I can get, but I am not desperate
All you say is you are grateful for the international threat

I can't ease the pain, I lost myself after the rain
The walls I'll break down trying to destroy you

In the end I'll lose
