about

War

lyrics

Our hope is a weapon

Held to our hearts

With high expectations

Every time we took our aim

we held our breathes knowing

nothing

would ever

be the same

We were sent to the front line

Appraisal to kill

Under a despotism

With the guns we were given

We lacked the assets to protect our existence


It seems your judgement

of peoples lives

is valueless


As the lives we built

come crashing down

You'll just cover it up

with yesterday's

promises

of a better life


We were born with ethics

Treated people with decency

But now this town has gone to shit

We're left with nothing but apathy

This common dispassion

Is shared mutually

You know I fucking hate you

I know you fucking hate me


With the guns we were given

We lacked the assets to protect our existence

Our mothers, brothers, sisters and lovers

Will forever go unknown

As we are sent to the frontline

To destroy the lives we built


As I swallowed that burning courage

It slithered down my neck

from no confidence

to never looking back
