There may be an angle that works, but I'm not sure this is it

Perhaps an allegory....don't know how to stop when we start?

So you mean something more like this...

The Great Ceasefire

Verse
We said “enough” at 2 a.m.
Turned off the lights, turned off the blame
But smoke still hanging in the room
Like broken words we can’t undo

Verse
A handshake written down in disappearing ink
We say we’re fine - does anybody think?
Cold eyes glowing in the dark
Two matches waiting for a spark

Pre-Chorus
One side says “done”
One side keeps score
One side closes every door
One side tries to restart the war

Chorus
The Great Ceasefire
But nobody ceases fire
Everybody says “peace”
While the flames climb higher

Whoa-oh-oh
Wave the white flag higher
Whoa-oh-oh
The Great Ceasefire

Verse
Every conversation bends
Back to where the damage ends
You say stop, I say fine
Then we cross another line

Verse
Two more weeks, another round
Love gets buried underground
We hold each other like a threat
And call it compromise instead

Chorus

Bridge
Who’s making the rules when nobody can win?
Who’s keeping the scars underneath the skin?
Everybody wants mercy, nobody wants loss
History repeats when the lines stay crossed

Chorus
