lyrics

Measure your life in breaths
Measure your life in beats
Measure your life in all the things that the darkness hopes it defeats

Measure your life in hope
Measure your life in joy

Measure your life in tastes
Measure your life in sips
Measure your life in sunrises, sunsets and the smile that sits on your lips

We've shown ourselves up
And we've blown ourselves up
It's embarrassingly hard to explain

Why we've drawn and redrawn and redrawn and redrawn and redrawn and redrawn and redrawn and redrawn and redrawn and redrawn and redrawn these fictional lines we protect and proclaim

And we've killed and we've killed and we've killed and we've killed and we've killed and we've killed and we've killed and we've killed and we've killed and we've killed and we've killed and we've killed and continue to kill

In whose name?
