Battlefield

It seems I'm walking into battle again A tired tried track of self defence and that's not what I meant Reading between the lines is dangerous when I say what I mean And the read lives red the unassuming victim from a meaningless crime Already tried to reconcile my head My heart already at war with a chaos that runs anxiety wrought You come out guns blazing ready to defend till there's nothing left And I'm left helplessly trying to convince myself what meant Alone in my voicings both tested and trialled I send an olive branch and get blown apart Lost in a misinterpretation Intent on your innocence my intent is lost And I'm searching for a solution While fighting you on a battlefield Blown up out of fury you retreat in the morning full of open arms My words only justified by time Peaceful resolution at the cost of me keeping my qualms quiet At fear of you pulling the trigger triggered by bigger issues already resolved Double meanings lose any meaning when your fighting for your words To take whim of what your feeling And a barricade of potential hurt stops me from breaking through And getting closer to you Alone in my voicings both tested and trialled I send an olive branch and get blown apart Lost in a misinterpretation Intent on your innocence my intent is lost And I'm searching for a solution While fighting you on a battlefield On a battlefield, on a battlefield On a battlefield Double meanings lose any meaning When your fighting for your words to take whim of what your feeling And a barracade of potential hurt stops me from breaking through And getting closer to you Alone in my voicings both tested and trialled I send an olive branch and get blown apart Lost in a misinterpretation Intent on your innocence my intent is lost And I'm searching for a solution Searching for a solution While fighting you on a battlefield
