Chris Holland - Pacifist

Do you dance with the devil just to crack a smile?
Do you spit in the face of the newest style?
When everything's wrong, do you start to believe?
In all the apocalyptic reveries

Do you scar yourself with pretty pictures?
And tattoo your skin with bloody razors
Do you set yourself alight just to feel a spark?
Cause you're sick of hiding out underneath the dark

No one really knows how you ended up here
In the centre of the earth from where you disappeared
And although your truth seems hard to believe
We're all in awe of how we were so naïve

And the grass dies from every step you take
And the people scream from the moves you make
And the clocks all stop when you make the time
To show every single ladder that you had to climb

You smash the glass and suddenly everyone stops
You speak your mouth and suddenly everyone drops
You raise your fist so passionate
You're quite the little pacifist
The authorities are trying to run you down
Cause they hate seeing you get around
The moments missed, flick of the wrist
They're wiped out by the pacifist

Two fingers in the air brings us to our knees
Everything you wish for is to quickly appease
The war mongers and the beating heart stoppers
Blasting Valkyrie sounds from their sharp choppers

Rifles and flowers in the devil's hour
Ringing the bell of every clock tower
To make love and spread peace to every soul
And send every bad weapon into a black hole

You smash the glass and suddenly everyone stops
You speak your mouth and suddenly everyone drops
You raise your fist so passionate
You're quite the little pacifist
The authorities are trying to run you down
Cause they hate seeing you get around
The moments missed, flick of the wrist
They're wiped out by the pacifist
