Night Letters Lyrics

Your world was blown right apart
On a night of sickening death
You went running for your life
And never went home again

I spend sleepless nights as my head
Swims, worrying about you

You work the night shift so you won't be alone
I am adept at cold, you have traveled so far from home and sorrow
Has followed every step of the way
You're caught between this life and the one left behind

I see it's burning you inside
Like some exploding sun
Your mind constantly returns
To a place that's not so f*cking cold

But on fire with war

You're starting over from scratch Sending your money home
You're working as hard as you can
While life hangs in the air

I see distant lights up ahead
But I'm worrying about you
It's all taking its toll
And you can't concentrate

You are being crushed by the world
I have gotten lucky so far
We sit at the end of this night dialing
An answer finally reached through a long distance line

News of threatening night letters
Stones tossed over the fence
Your loved ones taunted by murderers
Tell them it's three years that they'll have to wait

As their whole world implodes
