Language of the Living Dead Lyrics

(Be)come (a)part

It's a case of convictions

A magnetic play with a negative spin

After all we've tried

It makes too much difference

We speak in too many different tongues

You're like a stranger trying to connect with me

And we always fail

But keep trying

And we're washed away on a desert sea

You say more

You say less

All at once

A loving start

We undressed like children

Or maybe love's just a second thought

You say

The signs come around and they'll calm us down

I say

No one comes around until the bombs hit home

This conversation is a masquerade

Slip in

And out

Of silence

'Cause everything we say will send us straight to the grave

Dark tides

Come in

Once again

Once before

And once again

We make the beds we're lying in

Turn away when I turn to you

The dreams I have are not my own

The sounds of war sound just like home

One more silent casualty

(Be)come (a)part

It's a case of convictions

A contract signed

With a second hand swing

And after all we've tried

It makes too much difference

Whatever's between us is dancing blind

Come closer now

And don't speak to me

Take shelter here

In silence

Because when we kiss we can't say a thing

Our mouths

Pressed shut

In a cease-fire

Once before

And once again

We make the beds we're lying in

Turn away when I turn to you

The dreams I have are not my own

The sounds of war sound just like home

One more silent casualty

And in a time that never was

We almost came together then

We're two stars cut from casualties
