A Complicated War Within Poor Thomas

[instrumental] [intro] [verse] If you're striving to fly, Then you can't pluck off your wings. If you live to deny All the obvious true things, Watch the air smother you with its rough clutch. [pre-chorus] There's no eliminating people with black and white hearts, Follow your own footsteps to let your flaws take you apart. [Chorus] I am used to snow banging on my shoulder, This struggle in the steady rains. The war inside made me a vulnerable soldier. The ice in my eyes only melts in your hands. [verse] A rope is wound around your neck, Took off metal chains and broke your leg. Hiding in lies is the worst defense, Always neglecting your religious friends. You bear a mortar behind your back With your fingers on the trigger, Never managed to heal the cracks On your skin. No need to tinker. [pre-chorus] There's no eliminating people with black and white hearts, Follow your own footsteps to let your flaws take you apart. [pre-chorus] There's no eliminating people with black and white hearts, Follow your own footsteps to let your flaws take you apart. [Chorus] I am used to snow banging on my shoulder, This struggle in the steady rains. The war inside made me a vulnerable soldier. The ice in my eyes only melts in your hands. [bridge] A constant struggle with his mind inside a vulnerable soldier. Blindness leaves him little time to ponder The meaning of his wounds. Soon he won't see the light of the moon. [outro] The ice in my eyes only melts in your hands. [end]
