From the recording Past 10
Lyrics
War God
I never met her before, I could tell by the way her body hung like a bag
She’d been through even more and on her own
I never met her before, I could tell by the way she carried herself around
She pressed her own legs down in the ground
And walked them out of sight, to entertain her flight
This girl, she is just like me
So cool and sweet, furiously independent
It’s alarming, how many of us there are
Trying to be as real as can be
Riding around downtown, I passed a man then met up with him at a stoplight
He told me he liked my bike
Didn’t have anything, just the scars on his face
Revealing his harsh life
I told him so, I watched a smile grow
This man, he is just like me
So friendly, furiously dependent
It’s alarming, how many of us there are
Needing to be recognized
I am alone and I’ve come here to you
To defend myself against you and me
And my own devices
I am a war god, I can’t be controlled
And there was no warning, just the bargaining of our souls
I’m ‘a just absorb it all, give a little, give a little
