[Verse 1]
How long must she stand
Before the ground, eh, gives way
To an endless fall
She can feel this war on her face
And stars on her pillow
She's folding in darkness, begging for slumber

[Chorus 1]
I'm not blind, I can see it coming
Looks like lightning in my child's eye
I'm not frantic, I can feel it coming
Violently shakes my body

[Verse 2]
Her son's slanted
Always giving her sideways eye
An empty chair where Dad sits
How loud can silence get?
And Mom, she reassures
To contain him, but it's becoming a lie
She tells herself and everyone else
Father is risking his life for our freedoms

[Chorus 2]
I'm not blind, I can see it coming
Looks like lightning in my child's eye
I'm not frantic, I can feel it coming
Darling, you'll save me, if you save yourself
[Instrumental Outro]
