We Know Who Our Enemies Are

(album: I Never Said I Was Brave - 2001)

Save my skin, I need a medic
Hold me down, I'm only sewn down.
Save my teeth, show me you meant it
Catch my death, I'm only sewn together.

this last time I'll be there beside you despite all that I've said
there's meaningless, meaningless things to do a life to live instead
and each day seems the same to me but harder all the time
until I turn to Jesus, my love, my peace, I find

My eyelids are heavy, and the night's wearing on
Your story's familiar, and your innocence is gone
We'd burn like the morning then break like your heart
Fall in love without warning just to fall back apart
All fevered and blistered, the whole world at stake
I feel the warmth of her whisper and the cold of my mistakes
Her soul in the balance, my heart in her hands
I made her a widow, she made me a man.
