lyrics

What's the point of a war?
What's the point of a white flag or a marble arch?
Is it best to give in?
Is it best to find solace in that mortal sin? No.

If your eyes were the printers of our modern past,
If your tears filled a bottle for me to drink
Would it change how I think?

When the pain hits you hard
All that's left is a shard of your former self.
It's like looking through a glass
If you eyes were the printers of our modern past.

If your eyes were the printers of our modern past,
If your tears filled a bottle for me to drink
Would it change how I think?

Give it up for those who tried.
Give it up for those who gave it up and stepped aside.
Sure is nice to have a hand.
Sure is nice to have a warm caress in a dirty land.

So write me up that ampersand
And I will throw it at the one percent and,
Talk with doubt among your friends.
Talk with doubt about the preachers of deliverance, yea.

If your eyes were the printers of our modern past,
If your tears filled a bottle for me to drink
Would it change how I think?

Is it the bottle, or is it the one that we follow?
A promise, a premise designed
To satisfy but not to rectify.
