Hold No Guns

Darling, don't you understand

That there are no winners

Metals rung from silken strands

To greet you at the finish

As we're dissolving into the sea

I can only take what I can carry

The counsel's combing through our debris

The treasures we never buried

My love why do you run?

For my hands hold no guns

Darling, though you may pretend

Pretend that you are selfless

You break with but the slightest bend

It leaves you lost and helpless

So to whom will you place the call

In the coldest night of winter?

Cause numbers change and people fall

And friends they always splinter

My love why do you run?

For my hands hold no guns

My love why do you run?

For my hands hold no guns

They hold no guns

No, not a one
