Текст песни Battle Lines

I've been into bad business I've been out of my mind I've been playing in traffic I've been suffering in kind I've ben out in bad weather A cause for concern In the art of surrender I've got so much to learn Oh I know i should reach out from my confines These battle lines But finding the words is as hard As finding the time (Chorus) Battle lines I keep fighting all the hurt I've felt Battle lines I keep saying I don't need your help Everybody else knows I'm only keeping secrets from myself I've been drawn to disaster A willing volunteer I've been brought to a standstill By a burgeoning year Got a bleak mental palette But I paint what I see I've been handing out secrets To the landscape in me Oh I don't know when I drew up theses battle lines My confines I play the part of the prisoner And the jailer combined Battle lines I keep fighting all the hurt I've felt Battle lines I keep saying I don't need your help Everybody else knows I'm only keeping secrets from myself Alone in a lover's twilight with my doubts to keep me warm Watching for a ray of sunlinght to make it all transform It will in time Oh I know I should reach out from my confines These battle lines But finding the words is as hard As finding the time Battle lines I keep fighting all the hurt I've felt Battle lines I keep saying I don't need your help Everybody else knows I'm only keeping secrets from myself (2X)
