Wild Once - Proxy War

My best friend is in my bath tub
He's wondering
Are we living in reverse
Why did love lead us to loneliness
When we couldn't tell the truth anymore
Staying silent can't keep the peace if it starts a proxy war
Inside of you
Inside of me

If I could shift the ringing in my ears
The retrospective bouts with confidence and fear
Into something metaphorical
Clever like an oracle
That's a simile
Would you still listen to me
And not understand

There's something off with your smile
It's weather beaten and cold
What do you know that we don't
Why can't you tell the truth anymore
Staying silent can't keep the peace if it starts a proxy war
Inside of you
Inside of me

We've lost our way
Aging one sin at a time
You don't get your morals back

Now I'm in my bath tub
I'm wondering
Can we still go in reverse
Why did love lead us to loneliness
Why can't you tell the truth anymore
It's a proxy war
Inside of you
Inside of me
Inside of you
Go on and set yourself free
