A Love Like Pi - I Am A Soldier lyrics

My mouth is a jail cell The secrets peek between the gaps in my teeth And even though they're dying, yeah Pray for sunlight They'll pray for sunlight Wish my words came out less frantic And more romantic But these bathroom walls And your callused hands make me scream for sunlight Scream for sunlight When I say I'll be cavalier And when you undress me I'll pretend not to care Because I am a soldier Yeah, I am a soldier And I'll stare tight lips into space So while your greedy hands take what they can get All they get is me And I swear (I swear) I swear (I'll be) so cavalier And I swear (I swear) I swear (I'll be) so cavalier when you're here I know that every single talk show will tell me I should let it out, let it out Their make up makes it seem so made up, I watched them all let it out, let it out But there's no microphones inside these aching b-b-bones I said that there's no microphones inside these aching b-b-bones And I swear (I swear) I swear (I'll stay) so cavalier And I swear (I swear) I swear (I'll be) so cavalier when you're here And I'm addressing it now Fight this war with my mouth Letting it out, I'm letting it out, oh And I'm addressing it here Fight this war with my tears Letting it out, I'm letting it out, oh I've been addressing it wrong I'll fight this war with my songs I'm letting it out, I'm screaming it out I was a soldier, soldier, soldier I thought I was a soldier, soldier, soldier
