Swords

Hey, we're swapping swords for the pen

Hey, we're swapping swords for the pen

And above all it's hard to shed skin

When bones get in the way

When life gets in the way

You see more fools than men

And above all, it's hard to say when

When we can begin swapping swords for the pen

Hey, you're staring down the abyss

And above all it's hard to resist

All the angles we've missed

All the seeds in the hay

We all have this disease

Hands up and answers now please

Now on your knees say amen

Swapping swords for the pen

Please, don't lie when your heart's in mine

Most days, your body is a mess

Please, don't lie, I can see through your eyes

Then again, we're swapping swords for the pen

Please, don't lie when your heart's in mine

Most days, your body is a mess

Please, don't lie, I can see through your eyes

Then again, we're swapping swords for the pen

We're swapping swords for the pen

Please, don't lie when your heart's in mine

Most days, your body is a mess (we're swapping swords)

Please, don't lie, I can see through your eyes

Then again, we're swapping swords for the pen

Please, don't lie when your heart's in mine

Most day's your body's a mess (we're swapping swords)

Please, don't lie, I can see through your eyes

Then again, we're swapping swords

We're swapping swords for the pen
