It's not a violent flame, it's a slow lit burn In a rainless night but the wind still turns How we hurt the ones that we love and know? In the violet flames that we won't let go they're burning They're on fire They're still collateral
So I'm choking now but I don't feel pain And the wind won't stop and I can't feel rain Level out my love, we're the ones I know In the violent game but the ones we know are burning They're on fire They're still collateral There's still collateral There's still collateral
So we came to fall for the others blame We're the authors of one another's pain And we can't quit now but we know we should Molotovs we throw but the others all around us They're on fire They're still collateral They're still collateral There's still collateral We're still collateral We're still collateral
We've been tearing at our mothers though For all the mess we're in We can only blame ourselves for what it is And as we set ablaze and watch the lights begin to fade Brother we're burning We're still collateral
