Cease Fire

Liberate your words,
I want to make love.
If it's a game we're playing
throw your deuces to the floor
and fold up the board.

Make love to me, I don't care.

I'm asking
you to abandon
all of the props that
make you seem obscure.
You can strip me

of the mask that you hate
so much.The one that says
"I'm the boss."
If you'll welcome the truce

and give me the permission
that I'm waiting for then


Well...

Sometimes, it's true, an
affinity for tension overrides
whatever tenderness I feel.
But I'm calling for a cease fire.
No weapons of verbs or adjectives-
I'm not even asking to hear
you whisper my name-
Just pack up your pride and
I'd bury my reservations.
I want to make love
to you.


I haven't really decided how I feel about this one. I'm pretty sure it is one of those that I'll scrap an make a new one from.


If you want more love
Why don't you say so?
If you want more love
Why don't you say so?

Drop his name
Push it in and twist the knife again
Watch my face
As I pretend to feel no pain, pain, pain

Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It's heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare

If you want more love
Why don't you say so?
If you want more love
Why don't you say so?

Just say so...

How come the only way to know how high you get me
Is to see how far I fall?
God only knows how much I'd love you if you'd let me
But I can't break through at all

It's a heart...
Heartbreak

I don't care if we don't sleep at all tonight
Let's just fix this whole thing now
I swear to God we're gonna get it right
If you lay your weapon down
Red wine and ambien
You're talking shit again
It's heartbreak warfare
Good to know it's all a game
Disappointment has a name
It's heartbreak

How's that for the perfect accompanying song? Yay.
