Lyrics

Plastic soldiers in the dark,
Primed to strike on their behalf.
Ready your arms and wait for the call
Rank and file that rise and fall

These are not the words you're looking for
And the distance you created
Gives me purpose, gives me structure
So I can weather this assault

Torn asunder bodies lie in hollow graves,
A wasted life.
Battles continue infinite cost
New marionettes replace the lost

These are not the words you're looking for
And the distance you created
Gives me purpose, gives me structure
So I can weather this assault

I need to weather this assault!
My mind in turmoil!
All the things I knew for sure are gone
In the blink of an eye!

Why did you take me there to the precipice?
How did I not see this was the end game?
Why did you back me into a corner?
Even when I know you are to blame!
You gave me purpose, and you gave me structure

Those were not the words you were looking for
And the distance you created
Gave me purpose, gave me structure,
So I could continue without you
And the words you were looking for,
And the world we had created
Gave us purpose, gave us structure.
So we could weather this assault

These are not the words
