Make War (Long Version)

Make War (Long Version) - Bright Eyes

Our love is dead but without limit like the surface of the moon

Or the land between here and the mountains

And it is not these hiding places that have kept us innocent

But the way you taught me to just let it all go by

So we've learned to be as faithless stand behind bulletproof glass

Exchanging our affections through a drawer

It was always horribly convenient and happening too fast

You should count your change before you're even out the door

Well yes you should but please return return

To the person that you were and I will do the same

Cause it's too hard to belong to someone who is gone

My compass spins the wilderness remains

But once too often I've retreated into the depths of my despair

I built a barricade to block you on the road

I'll standing there with all of my possessions piled higher than a house

And I felt closer to you than you ever would have known

So let each tiny acts of charity

Be common ground on which to build

The monument to commemorate our times

And though you swear you've found another

Who will surely speed you on your way

Don't let the forest grow over that path you came there by

But you will so

So hurry up and run to the one that you love

And blind him with your kindness

And he'll make war oh war on who you were before

He'll claim all that has spoiled in your heart

Alright help me out boys

Now I tell myself I've mended under these patches of blue sky

Theres still a few holes that let in a little rain

And it's crying on my shingles the floorboards moan under my feet

The refrigerator is whining so I've got reason to complain

But I am not gonna bless you with such compliments

Some degrading psalm of praise

Like the kind that converted you to me so long ago

Because the truth is that gossip is as good as gospel in this town

You can save face but you won't ever save your soul

Baby that's a fact

So hurry up and run to the one that you love

And tie him up in your likeness

And he'll become become oh the prisoner I was

And know all that has spoiled in your heart

He'll know it all

He'll know all that has spoiled in your heart

So hurry up and run to the one that you love

And blind him with your kindness

And he'll make war oh war on who you were you before

And claim all that has spoiled in your heart

Yeah he'll claim all that has spoiled in your heart
