Peacemaker

his captain stands calling battle plans
to soldiers on the floor
through walls he listens he`s got night vision
mum and dad never meant to go to war

searching pockets dusty closets
for the cause of strife
how could he know tiptoes below
holding his breath to make it right

one day you`re the king
centre of everything
the next you cling
trying to slow the spin

oh peacemaker
hold up to the light
the white flag in your eyes

he wont remember words of anger
only how her hands shook
strangers faces taking their places
this only happens in scary books

days are long for the boy too strong
to curl up again
it`d be nice to be born twice
once as you are once back in your game

one day you`re the king
centre of everything
the next you cling
trying to slow the spin

oh peacemaker
hold up to the light
the white flag in your eyes
oh peacemaker
hold up to the light
