Stay Close

I've been searching the mirror
 And every day it is a new face
 A little older than the old face
 You are not welcome here
 And every day I use a new tool
 A little sharper than the old tool
 Cause scratch the surface doesn't cut it
 You are not welcome here
 You'd think the feeling was familiar
 With common cause could come an instinct
 But you just don't seem to get it
 You are not welcome here
 You signed up for the mission
 And signed on with your children in tow
 Committing crimes of omission
 You are not welcome here
 Starved on redaction
 Yet grown fat on the fiction
 Still hungry for action
 You are not welcome here
 And now you've come to convince me
 Or at the very least to judge me
 I say "you & what army?"
 You are not welcome here
 You are not welcome here
 And now you've come to the table
 And pretend that you'll listen
 But it's clear that you're wounded
 And we both know how this ends
 We both know how this ends
 We both know how this ends
 We both know how this ends
 ♪
 I'm still searching the mirror
 And every day it is a new face
 A little older than the old face
 And I'm still using the same tools
 Using the same fools
 Losing the same wars
 But I'll draw you all close to me
 I'll keep you all close to me
 I need to keep you closer still
 Closer still
 Closer still
 Closer still
 You are not welcome here
 You are not welcome here
 And now you've come to the table
 I'll pretend that you'll listen
 But it's clear that you're wounded
 And we both know how this ends
 We both know how this ends
 We both know how this ends
 We both know how this ends
