Unspoken Waffle Iron Treaty

[Instrumental Intro] --- -- - [Verse 1] We sat in the kitchen, no words, no war Staring down the scorched linoleum floor Steam rising like a peace pipe sigh From a waffle iron neither of us would unplug or deny [Verse 2] The syrup stood still in its plastic throne Next to a butter knife shaped like a phone You sliced silence like a diplomat And I nodded like a dog wearing parashoot pants [Instrumental Interlude] - -- --- [Chorus] We made no vow, but we never broke it No treaty signed, but we both spoke it Through crumbs and clatter, passive heat The world held still for our breakfast truce beat [Verse 3] You passed me a plate like a white flag wave Truce sealed with powdered sugar brave No map, no anthem, no decree Just a ceasefire made in a pot of weak tea [Bridge] Just a ceasefire made in a pot of weak tea No map, no anthem, no decree Truce sealed with powdered sugar brave You passed me a plate like a white flag wave [Instrumental Bridge] --- -- - [Pre-Chorus] I burned the edge, you scraped the pan History made in the grease of man Diplomacy's a lonely chore But you kept the jam jar near the door [Instrumental Interlude] - -- --- [Chorus] We made no vow, but we never broke it No treaty signed, but we both spoke it Through crumbs and clatter, passive heat The world held still for our breakfast truce beat [Outro] So here’s to the quiet pacts we form In kitchens half-lit and lukewarm Where politics meet toast and tea And peace is just electricity [Instrumental Ending] - -- ---
