casualties of a non-war
shooting themselves in the feet
let me pray before you crush my heart

and you swear that you do this in god's name
stifling the psalms of the heart

take your hands off my throat
let me breathe

and you swear that you do this in god's name
stifling the psalms of the heart

take your hands off my throat
let me breathe

i'm suffocating
you slash my wrist
gave me a network
and devoured my art

broadcast, worldwide
healing those for a price

i'm suffocating
you slash my wrist
gave me a network
and devoured my art

and you swear that you do this in god's name
stifling the psalms of the heart

casualties of a non-war
shooting themselves in the feet
let me pray before you crush my heart
let me breathe
