lyrics

He pins your arms
You close your eyes
You've done this before
With countless guys

You feel hot air
As he breathes in your ear
It's not fair
To bear this fear

Your heart is beating out of your chest
The tears begin to flow
Though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Here feels safer than home

Where the buildings are burning
And the children aren't learning
And the gears keep on turning
In the war machine that's churning
Our profits for earning
And families in mourning
For the people they've lost
But war means not concerning yourself with the cost

The raft reaches shore
You take the offered hand
But safety is not secure
You belong to no land

You find yourself caught
You can't decide
Whether you want
To live or to die

You feel like you've been silent since you could talk
And it seems like you've been running since you could walk
You yearn for the freedom of the uncaged lark
Or the safety of the lamb led to the loam

But even the open mouth of a shark
Feels safer than home
Feels safer than home
Feels safer than home
