Voluntary Now
-----------------------
VERSE1: WITH NO MORE DOVES UP MY SLEEVE
NO MORE SEARING HEAT
WE LIGHT A FIRE, AND BRING THE LIGHTS DOWN

WITH NO MOUTHS LEFT TO FEED, OR MUTUAL NEED
THE TIME WE SPEND IS VOLUNTARY NOW

WHEN I HAD ONE FOOT OUT ONE IN
YOU PULLED ME BACK IN
AND ASKED TO NOT RELEASE YOU NOW
WHEN I HELD ALL THE CARDS
CAUSE YOU’D FALL APART

VERSE2: TO THE TOP OF A PEAK, IN A DESERT RETREAT
I PLAY THE PIANO ALONE FOR YOU NOW

WITH NO MORE TRICKS UP MY SLEEVE
YOU GRANT A REPREIVE
WE’RE DRAWN IN AS IF WE MET NOW

WITH MY CHIP STACK LOOKING THIN
I PUSH’EM ALL IN
SO YOU CAN’T RELEASE ME NOW
THAT YOU HOLD ALL THE CARDS
OR I’D FALL APART

VERSE3: NOW I KNOW THAT LOVE IS A FOOL
BORN TO RULE, NOT BE SCHOOLED
BORN TO WALK OVER BOTH RIGHT AND WRONG

AS THEY LAY DOWN THEIR ARMS
AND SUBMIT TO THE CHARGE
UNDER A BANNER OF A HEART WRAPPED IN THORNS

WITH THE FIELD WON IT SINGS
NOONE KNOWS WHAT IT MEANS
UNTIL WE SAY THE WORDS OUT LOUD

IT’S VOLUNTARY NOW
IT’S VOLUNTARY NOW
