Ramparts

Ramparts  -  KASHMIR

like  this  summer  unsettled

and  surprisingly  grey

I'm  supposed  to  be  warm

but  I'm  tricked  by  a  cold  betrayal

knowing  that  your  cold  war

isn't  over  at  all

seeing  how  you  try  steering  a  craft

that  is  bound  to  stall

nothing's  in  your  way

and  no  one's  out  to  save  you

so  you  can  wither  by  the  wealth

or  you  can  catch  up  on  yourself

so  fed  up  with  the  good  face

to  spare  us  from  knowing

what  we  already  know

and  the  faces  we  are  scared  of  showing

you  have  all  that  you  had

now  it's  time  to  give  up

and  leave  that  miserable  struggle

you  once  thought  your  love  could  stop

nothing's  in  your  way

and  no  one's  out  to  save  you

so  you  can  wither  by  the  wealth

or  you  can  catch  up  on  yourself

nothing's  in  your  way

and  no  one's  out  to  save  you

when  your  world  is  coming  down

and  your  ramparts  hit  the  ground
