Your world was blown right apart on a night of sickening death
You went running for your life and never went home again
I spend sleepless nights as my head swims worrying about you
You work the night shift so you won't be alone
I am adept at cold. You have travelled so far from home
Sorrow has followed every step of the way
You're caught between this life and the one left behind
I see it's burning you inside like some exploding sun
Your mind constantly returns to a place that's not so fucking cold
But on fire with war. You're starting over from scratch, sending your money home
You're working as hard as you can while life hangs in the air
I see distant lights up ahead but I'm worrying about you
It's all taking its toll and you can't concentrate
You are being crushed by the world. I have gotten lucky so far
We sit at the end of this night dialing
An answer finally reached through a long distance line
News of threatening night letters. Stones tossed over the fence
Your loved ones taunted by murderers
Tell them it's three years that they'll have to wait as their whole world implodes
