They have turned us over their tongues a thousand times And scattered us all over the world until we are dust No one would believe us and even if they did, The world does not need another love story Men are dying in Gaza Men are dying in our backyards So it doesn’t matter if I am dying inside There are bigger things to fight for I cannot even win the war against myself There is nothing worse than the guilt Of not being able to live outside of my head But you still calmly make tea in the kitchen, Quietly covering up sharp edges Until I’m ready to throw up the pills I know I am not a worthy cause But you take time to keep my demons at bay Until one day I could join you in a demonstration Taking on actual demons like the capitalist pigs and imperialist America

We're Getting Old for This
They have turned us over their tongues a thousand times And scattered us all over the world until we are dust No one would believe us and even if they did, The world does not need another love story Men are dying in Gaza Men are dying in our backyards So it doesn’t matter if I am dying inside There are bigger things to fight for I cannot even win the war against myself There is nothing worse than the guilt Of not being able to live outside of my head But you still calmly make tea in the kitchen, Quietly covering up sharp edges Until I’m ready to throw up the pills I know I am not a worthy cause But you take time to keep my demons at bay Until one day I could join you in a demonstration Taking on actual demons like the capitalist pigs and imperialist America
