War

Don't need a reason for why I've been gone for so long
Enter the room just to hear all the shots in the dark
"Keep it together" you say with fear changing your talk
See you from heaven and you're the one dropping the bombs

This is it, I'm about to die
'fore you pull that trigger, could you look me in my eye?

Saw you dance along the line, like who's side are you on?
I don't want to call for help, 'cause then something went wrong
Keeping a secret's the number one way to start war
Heard it was different, I swear you have said that before

This is it, I'm about to die
'fore you pull that trigger, could you look me in my eye?
When I drown in the temptation and no one wonders why
Won't be hesitation, someone's shooting on sight

Just raise your hands and shout
"I don't know what I did now!"
With your nails, tear hearts agape
Still can't understand why after, we celebrate
And the white flag's dyed with the blood of the enemy
Make us think that they're never surrendering
Close your eyes and swing the hammer, you are bound to hit something
Who knows what demon you'll bring me?
You know that I'll still welcome thee
No need to show scars from past battles, I see them as you reminisce
Still, I can't get tired of this
I think there's something in the way the crimson slides right down the skin that makes me want to jump back in
