I've heard that pens Swing harder than swords So we fight with words In this war The nib is a match It ignites with a flash Consuming my heart With the roar Words are the flames That burn in our lungs Consuming us all When they're sung They say Fire will heal me Fire will cleanse me Fire will turn Things around But This Fire is hurting Making me dirty Fire is burning Me down I hear the words Cut deeper than knives The tools we abuse In this life A heart that's ablaze Will keep singing the rage And thinks it can tell you Who's right The flame that takes all Is my judgement call It lights as my Gavel falls They say Fire will heal me Fire will cleanse me Fire will turn Things around But This Fire is hurting Making me dirty Fire is burning Me down As long as I've lived I've used notes as a shiv To stoke flames With eyes to the floor So love help me see What my life could be When I listen Instead of ignore They say Fire will heal me Fire will cleanse me Fire will turn Things around But This Fire is hurting Making me dirty Fire is burning Me down Yeah I've heard that pens Swing harder than swords So we fight with words In this war
