How I Became Invisible - Caught in the Crossfire (Studio Demo) Lyrics

I got the message last night
Words and punctuation
A side-arm volley from the flank
That caught me in the crossfire
Steadied my shaking hands
Despite the complication
Of way too many amphetamines
And a medicated head
It's been two weeks out on the front
It's a bad situation
Too little sleep, too little peace
And too many friends long gone away
I shouldered my rifle
And prepared for evacuation
I left the note behind in wax
And left the words to burn

It said: This is not a warning
This is not a distress call
But my ship is in the harbor now
And I'm sailing out from shore
Don't blame the ocean
Don't blame anything at all
Don't blame yourself or blame the fight
That's kept us far apart
I'm the captain of my vessel
And I'm tearing down this wall
Of distance and relentless doubt between us
Until you see what I know now
You're drifting out at sea
And I'm waiting for the fall
If you return, you'll find me gone for good
So I leave you my heart
At the bottom of the ocean
For you to keep behind your eyes
And remember, if you should return
The love you left behind

We stormed the bunker last night
I fought for my decisions
I didn't lose sight of her
And kept my love in mind
I was caught in the crossfire
My blood will leave with my conviction
And the words I speak under fire and smoke
Will echo in our eyes

We are the living
We are the dead who don't know why
We are the favored sons and daughters who
Never knew to try

We are the living
We are the dead who don't know why
We are the favored sons and daughters who
Never knew to try

We are the living
We are the dead who don't know why
We are the favored sons and daughters who
Never knew to try

We are the living
We are the dead who don't know why
We are the favored sons and daughters who
Never knew to try

We are the living
We are the dead who don't know why
We are the favored sons and daughters who
Never knew to try

We are the living
We are the dead who don't know why
We are the favored sons and daughters who
Never knew to try
