The Arcadian Wild - Civil War Lyrics

A moment of relief
Comes with every blink
Still the need returns with a vengeance

Perpetual disease
Impossible to please
I feel the need return with a vengeance

Unintentional civil war
My mind is unpredictable
I'm pining for control
Like a clock, a voice in my mind
Tick-tick, talking all the time
And he can't hold his tongue

I can't stop involuntary motion
Inevitably hoping
This will be the last time
That I can't stop everybody noticing
Every time I'm burdened by
Involuntary motion

Don't you move a muscle
Don't you make a sound
It only makes it worse

I wonder if I'll see
The meaning of my weakness
The resolve of the tension

A moment of relief
Comes when I realize
Who am I without the tension?

Let me apologize for my tendency to be moving when I shouldn't be
Trust me, I don't want to be making a scene or anything
See I got this thing in my head, it keeps me movin
Can't stop the noise, but when I stop and think about it,
Where would I be without the noise and the commotion?
After all we've all got our own type of tension
Type of involuntary civil war tearing us apart
What if we never really stop?

Don't worry 'bout the motion
Get it out in the open
Forget about the last time
Cause I can't stop everybody noticing
Every time I'm burdened by
Involuntary motion

Don't you move a muscle
Don't you make a sound
It only makes it
