Gently Hard

If I tried to think and talk on the level
I could blow a silent wave
That would break against
The grudge you bear me
And upon your ruthless rave

Got a dull ache in my stomach and my
Tired heart is standing still

I stay out of your
Mean daily wars
I beware of getting into your fights
I'm a flower underwater
See against the light
My leaves are perfect green
Ain't gonna be no bruises

If I tried to draw in profile the shape
Of those who vanish off the core
I could take aim and then strike
Just like you did with me before

While instead I observe your colours
Through my window painted blue
And I try to refine my sorrow
So I slowly bask in gloom
So now I'm standing still in this
Doubtful borderline

I stay out of your
Mean daily wars
I beware of getting into your fights
I'm a flower underwater
See against the light
My leaves are perfect green
Ain't gonna be no bruises
