Lyrics Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars - The Shivers

Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars

she’s wielding silent weapons for all her quiet wars
and they’re raining down from heaven
and when it rains, it pours
and though she plays naive, she knows what they are for
and then god made adam eve, and then eve said i want more
and you grieve when she leave, guaranteed
she gave to you her candy, and at the time it was so sweet
but alone in your apartment now you feel your rotting teeth
and in the dentist chair you pray for sweet relief
and the blood’s the signifier that the lady was a liar
and all you thought you knew
come dripping down all over you
so you’re back inside the garden again and the tree of knowledge is bare
and then you see her in the distance and she’s in pink underwear
and you know it’s a mirage and that she’s not really there
but you’re blinded by the cold sweat in your eyes and the despair
so you run into the ether either you’re crazy
or she don’t really care
be patient, little boy
there is so much joy in this world
oh, but none of it’s mine
the angel that you lost
will come back to you
in due time
so she puts herself away again like the good book on a shelf
and you don’t know what to say again 'cause she’s left you in yourself
and you want to fight the war still but you haven’t got the help
'cause she’s robbed you of your strength, your dignity and all you …
so you raise up your white flag, crying «baby, give it back»
give it back
give it back
