  1. Signal

From the recording Parables

Lyrics

I’ve been making myself smaller so that I could see it
We’ve been making love like it’s the last thing we’ll do
We’ve been sending secrets in ink that will vanish
Behind the enemy lines where our hearts are stationed
Disguised to look like their captors they send back their reporting
We wait for the signal
We wait for the signal
We wait for the signal
Behind the armaments there’s an aura of distrust
There’s no walls that can shut out the danger of a turncoat.
They are sending their reports on us as well
I eye the birds in the courtyard with suspicion.
My eyes are trained to search the contents of each smile.
And doubt the shadow in the corner of your vision.
I used to think that we were winning
The long arc would carry us through
Now all I know for sure is all of us will be dying
And if there are victors, what they will inherit
Will strip them of their most precious virtues
Will leave their hearts warped beyond recognition
Will leave us unable to know ourselves or each other
I should know.
I should know.
I’ve been beyond the lines and I have seen there’s nothing waiting
I’ve been beyond the lines and I have seen there’s nothing waiting.
We wait for the signal
We wait for the signal
We wait for the signal
Regardless, we’re committed to the victory
Regardless
Regardless
We wait.
We seek redemption in battle
We seek redemption in battle
We seek redemption in battle.
