Life After Wartime Lyrics by The Nursery

Life After Wartime

2017

[Verse 1]
I lie awake
Sleepless eyes in rare cacophony
Oh this city shakes
My friends screaming out in perfect harmony
[Chorus]
Hold on, pinch me hard enough
It's not a dream I've seemed to survive
We're growing up while it's blowing up
The stench of honey in life after wartime
[Verse 2]
Aeroplanes
Tear up the evening sky and shred the last of the stars
[Chorus 2]
Hold on, pinch me hard enough
It's not a dream I've seemed to survive
We're growing up while it's blowing up
Paradise in life after wartime
[Bridge]
A garden full of corpses
In a bed of roses
Bend towards the light
To feed their appetite
Humor has it's ways
Of coping with the days
I laugh until I bleed
And think why can't this be
Somebody else's life
But me
