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

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

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

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