"Even Warriors" lyrics

"Even Warriors"

Even warriors want someone to hold
I'd rather face a thousand bayonets
Than to stand alone with one who could see me
And talk about feelings
Why's that so scary?

Even warriors want a place called home
When the fight is through to whom will I return?
And on whose shoulder will I place a waiting kiss?
Tell me who you'd miss

Despite my great effort to protect the masses
I fold in capacity
Despite my great effort to shield my belly
It shows openly
So pierce me, pierce me
Pierce me to ecstatic
Saint me after slaughter
My absent faculty, embrace and awaken me
While injustice carries on
The battle is won in the soft spots
In the soft spots
