"Battleships"

from Sweetness Machines by This Mad Desire

about

Written by Mackenzie Kristjon.

lyrics

there’s nothing i can do to calm the night.
there’s nothing i can say to make it all right.
do you feel like you’re putting up with too much?
do you feel like your love has become a crutch?

drink the battleships and taint your love..
it’s in your heart! it’s in your blood!

you’re out here with the wind and the seagulls
meanwhile the water is leaking into the ship’s hull
but this ship you’re on it seems so far from shore
and you don’t know if you can swim back anymore..

drink the battleships and taint your love
you’ve got to fight for what you love!

caught up in the future, waiting for the past
hope that running forward will make these feelings pass
there’s nothing i can do to calm the night
but I will hold your hand and say it’ll be all right.

drink the battleships and taint your love
it’s in your heart! it’s in your blood!
drink the battleships and taint your love
you’ve got to fight for what you love…
