lyrics
War years.
Half asleep and I am steeped in my age-old fears.
Aide de campe.
My body sweet and indiscreet,
But my ears aren't gone.
I will wait
To keep my family safe
In this not-so-civil civil war,
And I will let you in on the edge of my breath,
Though I've never used it like that before.
I will make you stare,
Let you touch me there,
I will make so you really mean it.
I will tell you lies.
I'll tell you why,
This is war.
And I'm ready to do war.
Soldier,
I will cheat and I'll unseat til I get what I'm after.
War years,
My eyes are swollen and my heart is open like a mutineer.
I will stay,
I'll be in your way,
Though it seems that I'll be anything but.
I will garner what is valuable to the Union, and what the Union is not.
I will make you stare,
Let you touch me there,
I will make it so you really mean it.
I'll tell you lies.
I'll tell you why,
This is war.
And I'm ready to do war.
I'll be spent,
I'll know where you went,
"Bloody Murder" to your ruin.
I know your last name,
I know your end game,
I know your next move, don't you know it.
I made you scared,
I made you think I cared,
I made it so you really meant it.
I will tell you lies.
I'll tell you why,
This is war.

Skye Wallace is
what happens when a trained singer with east coast roots discovers punk rock in their youth and writes music that makes you feel excited....more
From the start to finish, this is a powerful album. The only thing better than listening to it is seeing Skye Wallace and her band play live. jgoodeill
