Dear Mom and Dad
Here's why I can't home
I can talk to either one of you just fine
When it's either one, alone

But the Thanksgiving table
Is going to be pulled out bigger
If we talk at all
One of you will pull the trigger

I used to run those battle lines
Trying to smooth over what got said
Trying to get a medal
Trying to get some shrapnel in my head
Thought it was my duty
to plead and to implore
But I caught too much crossfire
In your covert war

The television talks, fills the air
So you don't have to start
You claim you territories in the rooms upstairs
To keep yourselves apart

Holy days they bring us all together
After so much left unsaid
You taught us well not to kick under the table
Kick under your breath instead

I used to stand between you
Trying to smooth over what got said
Trying to get a medal
Trying to get some shrapnel in my head

Thought it was my duty
To plead and to implore
But I caught too much crossfire
In your covert war

Of coarse there was the anger where the love is strong
It spilled like gasoline
It's crude but its a power we can draw upon
If it fuels the right machine

I love you and I'd never want to see you bleed
When comments cut like steel
So to hold your fire I'd block the shot and take the hit for you
As if I could not feel

I thought they'd passed right through me
That I had no scars to hide
But now I open up and try to love
And I find they're still inside

I used to run those battle lines trying to plead and to implore
Please won't you hold the cease fire out a little longer
Until the next uproar

I took it all in childhood
But I can't take it no more
'cause I caught too much crossfire
In your covert war



Mirror lyrics:


In your covert war
'cause I caught too much crossfire
But I can't take it no more
I took it all in childhood

Until the next uproar
Please won't you hold the cease fire out a little longer
I used to run those battle lines trying to plead and to implore

And I find they're still inside
But now I open up and try to love
That I had no scars to hide
I thought they'd passed right through me

As if I could not feel
So to hold your fire I'd block the shot and take the hit for you
When comments cut like steel
I love you and I'd never want to see you bleed

If it fuels the right machine
It's crude but its a power we can draw upon
It spilled like gasoline
Of coarse there was the anger where the love is strong

In your covert war
But I caught too much crossfire
To plead and to implore
Thought it was my duty

Trying to get some shrapnel in my head
Trying to get a medal
Trying to smooth over what got said
I used to stand between you

Kick under your breath instead
You taught us well not to kick under the table
After so much left unsaid
Holy days they bring us all together

To keep yourselves apart
You claim you territories in the rooms upstairs
So you don't have to start

But I caught too much crossfire

Thought it was my duty
Trying to get some shrapnel in my head
Trying to get a medal
Trying to smooth over what got said

If we talk at all
Is going to be pulled out bigger
But the Thanksgiving table

When it's either one, alone
I can talk to either one of you just fine
Here's why I can't home
Dear Mom and Dad
