lyrics

words are swords
choose them well
they can be hard to find
when I’m trying to tell

you there on my pillow
don't fly out the window
fools know how you go and leave me here

words are swords
passing through
proving nothing
when they’re not true

and you can’t sleep at night
when they don’t come out right
you can’t lock your door against the fall of their feet

you there on my pillow
don't fly out the window
fools know how you go and leave me here

words are swords
and now i'm dead
cos I forgot my heart
listened to my head
with what I said

words are swords
