Paper Guns

Keep your fingers hid from the temptation
Don’t fool yourself and fall down in the mud
Slip and slide, it’s easier to come up
With a light to keep us in the boat
Be alarmed
These people went to war
We taught them how to bend the rules
And now we sit around the table pointing paper guns
It seems like we practically have slain
this lamb a dozen times
Go ahead
Flip it then pretend like all we ever did was
Building bridges just to watch them burn down again
New day, new lies born with no eyes
to clean up our mess
Is it much to brag about
the times we’ve jumped the fence
We brought it with us
And now we sit around the table pointing paper guns
It seems like we practically have slain
this lamb a dozen times
Go ahead
Flip it then pretend like all we ever did was
Building bridges just to watch them burn down again
