Civil War

There's a war outside our doorsteps
There's a blood red sky lining the stars
There's the sound of guns near the pavement
But there's a face of hope in my arms

So don't forget me when all the lights are gone
Please remember all the times we went wrong
Tell the people stories 'bout every word in this song
Tell them not to worry, stay tall and stay strong

Shots fire and baby our worlds our crashing down
They're higher lately the walls all over the ground
It's fire, ashes, screams and one more sound
The reasons why that fear is so profound
The reason why that tears are all around

There's a body there on sidewalk
There's a girl in me who just wants to talk
There's a ghost of a man by the window
There's the core of death only we know

So don't forget me when all the lights are gone
Please remember all the times we went wrong
Tell the people stories 'bout every word in this song
Tell them not to worry, stay tall and stay strong

Shots fire and baby our worlds our crashing down
They're higher lately the walls all over the ground
It's fire, ashes, screams and one more sound
The reasons why that fear is so profound
The reason why that tears are all around
