Lyrics
I Am A Soldier
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My mouth is a jail cell
These secrets peek
between the gaps in my teeth
and even though they're dying yeah...
they'll pray for sunlight
they'll pray for sunlight
Wish my words came out
Less frantic
And more romantic
But these bathroom walls and your calloused hands
make me scream for sunlight
I'll scream for sunlight
I swear I'll be cavalier
I mean when you undress me,
I'll pretend not to care
because I'm a soldier...
yeah I am a soldier....
and I'll stare tight lipped into space
While your greedy hands will take what they can get
and all they get is me..
I swear (I swear) I'll stay so cavalier
(when you're here)
I know that every single talk show will tell me I should let it out, let it out
Their make up makes it seem so made-up I watch them all let it out, let it out
but there's no microphones inside these aching b-b-bones
I'm
addressing it now
I'll fight this war with my mouth
I'm letting it out,
I'm letting it out oh
I'm
addressing it here
I'll fight this war with my tears
I'm letting it out,
I'm letting it out oh
I've
been addressing it wrong
I'll fight this war with my songs
I'm letting it out,
I'm letting it out oh
I was a soldier
I thought I was a soldier
