It was a bright day,
an autumn Friday
When I admitted 
what we both knew was true
And in a moment
the treetops were all gone
and I was fast transported back
to a time not too long ago

Foreign kindness
and a sweet smile right below 
warm eyes
Time and time, the moments passed like
errant fireflies
and I knew
that today, I'd never be alone again
I was a radio person, all the songs 
spoke to me

singing

Join the ranks of broken-hearted 
step up to the line
unarmed
Miles and miles they stretch and march this beat
Join the ranks of the souls departed
from happier places
they all started
Battlegrounds look different when you're
on your knees

Heard the drums beating
when I laid down on your chest
Foresaw broken knuckles, dirty knees
I must confess
Today was breaking
like a promise, I expected and
wasn't you or me, it was us three;
us two and a killer called time

Foreign kindness
and a sweet smile right below 
warm eyes
Time and time, the moments passed like
errant fireflies
Like a.
cliché, I never wanted
​to make of my life

I was a radio person, all the songs 
spoke to me

screaming


Join the ranks of the broken-hearted 
step up to the line
unarmed
Miles and miles they stretch and march this beat
Join the ranks of the souls departed
from happier places
they all started
Are war cries really there if no one's
around to hear?
Join the ranks of the broken-hearted
step up to the line
unarmed
Battlegrounds look different when you're
on your knees
