Collateral

It's not a violent flame

It's a slow lit burn

In a rainless night

But the wind still turns

How we hurt the ones

That we love and know

In the violet flames

That we wont let go

They're burning

They're on fire

They're still collateral

So I'm choking now

But I don't feel pain

And the wind won't stop

And I can't feel rain

Level out my love

We're the ones I know

In the violent game

But the ones we know

are burning

They're on fire

They're still collateral

There's still collateral

So we came to fall

For the others blame

We're the authors of

One another's pain

And we can't quit now

But we know we should

Molotovs we throw

But the the others all around us

They're on fire

They're still collateral

They're still collateral

We've been tearing at our mothers though

For all the mess we're in

We can only blame ourselves for what it is

And as we set ablaze and watch the lights begin to fade

Brother we’re burning

We're still collateral
