Barbaric

Who blinks first? You're gonna win The fallen doves of lover's vows In the world all around us And I'd like, if you've got the time To talk to you about What this breakup has done to me I have lost The feeling that I thought I'd never lose Now where am I going? At what cost? The feeling that I thought I'd never lose It is barbaric Now you can't play to every taste The powder keg of common cause All of us carry trauma And in lieu of an explanation I will pour oil from the cup On the pyre of abdication You have lost The feeling that you thought you'd never lose Now where are you going, darling? At what cost? The feeling that you thought you'd never lose And it is barbaric Empty grove, winter darkness We're taking down the scaffolds very soon Crow dappled the lonely baubles on the plane tree The can of soup and heating up to ten Which leaves me to the part Where we agreed on different dreams And that we'd lost The feeling that we thought we'd never lose Now where are we going? At what cost? The feelings that we thought we'd never lose It is barbaric We have lost The feeling that we thought we'd never lose Where are we going? We have lost The feeling that we thought we'd never lose And it is barbaric, darling We have lost The feeling that we thought we'd never lose (at what cost?) Now where are we going? We have lost The feeling that we thought we'd never lose It is barbaric
