Play the chords of sympathy
All victims lost on shore
Pull yourself away for help
Until you don't know what it's for
Mind your manners, stake a claim
We've heard it crystal clear
Taken once to find some trust
You'll never get away from here
So pair up your excuses
And ration every lie
They can harbour these abuses
But we can see it in your eyes
It's really no surprise these days
You just can't pull yourself away
The skies turn green, temptation sways your mind
Hum a tune for empathy
All casualties of war
But what are we fighting for?
What are we fighting for?
Now steady your denials
And stock up every doubt
They can justify your reasons
For the things you'll go without
Yeah pair up your excuses
And ration every lie
They can harbour these abuses
But we can see it in your eyes
We can see it in your eyes
