LYRICS
It’s light now, it’s light
I've been awake all night now, I’m deathly tired
Tired of the earthquakes kicking us to the ground
Sick of the cursed ocean between our filthy mouths
Fall asleep with the TV on
The pigeon purrs at the worthless dawn
Another damning day creeps into view
Falling asleep to thoughts of us
The faded spark of the far off touch
And all I really want for me is you
Well it’s dark now, feels like everyone died
Now I’m the only living thing for miles
I’m standing breathing signal cigarette smoke
In the hope that you’ll see it, find me and drive us home
Fall asleep with the TV on
The protest cries for blood and bone
And all I really care for is the truth
I’m falling asleep to thoughts of us
But the detail’s bleached, it’s not enough
And all I really want for me is you
I fall asleep with the TV on
The gunshot brings an exhausted soul
And all I really care for is the truth
I’m falling asleep to thoughts of us
The whispered fizz of a distant love
And all I really want for me is you

Beautiful song ... I also believe the correct lyric is "And all I really care for is a truce"

Truce

I feel like 'the truth' is accurate.
