Arms and Armour - Sofia Talvik

It’s danger when you touch me

Bombs and ricochets

I know I should be running

Away from you and yet

All these arms and armour

Are slowing down my step

I’m my own disarmer

My gun towards my head

You were aiming for my heart but

Pierced right through my soul

I thought dying would be easy

But it left me stiff and cold

And all these arms and armour

They don’t do me any good

When my heart’s outside my chest

And my guns are made of wood

There’s no defense for

What I’m feeling

You stripped me of

My arms and armour

This fight is getting

Pretty tired

I’m putting down

My arms and armour

I surrender to you now

I’m walking through the ruins

Of all my hopes and dreams

I watch them float away as

Teardrops in a stream

And all these arms and armour

I am putting them away

If only I can be with you

I’ll be ok

There’s no defense for

What I’m feeling

You stripped me of

My arms and armour

This fight is getting

Pretty tired

I’m putting down

My arms and armour

I surrender to you now
