Coffee & War

How can I say all I need is some caffeine?
That my head is aching, it’s the worst I can make it
And I’m wondering what did you feel
when you opened your eyes today?

How can I lie here just scanning the headlines?
Skipping the bad stuff, phone gongs for silence
When silence is something you won’t know
for a very, very long time

Me in a wood cabin, you behind locks maddened
How could your cousin be falling for this?
Bending the truth is gone, he’s saving you by killing now
One with their history as he wrote it

It's dark here at night
but it must be dark there all the time
How can it both be
war and coffee?

How can I stand there in front of the mirror?
hoping tomorrow I’ll look a bit better
And I’m pointlessly wondering
do these thoughts still cross your mind sometimes?

We have the same age, we have the same blood
We had the same wishes in looking for love
Can we pretend it’s a film and then end it?
We’ll go for a drink, as they just solved the crime

I’m wiping tears
And you’re wiping your memories
We were the same but now it’s war and coffee

It’s reeling
My skin is your skin
And I’m kneeling
These words are weaponless
But I’m feeling
With this song I’m powerless
But I’m feeling
Yeah, this beat is heavenless
