War

I sleep with the lights off And hope for the best As all of your words Fly like knives through my chest Stick to your slander Put me to the test I hope that it brings you some comfort Oh tell your stories And lock your halls Build your kingdom As your world falls Tell your Armies To guard their walls Cause the war will rage when I wake up tomorrow Strike me down Tell me I’m worthless As if I deserve it It makes me strong Take my crown I know past the surface You’re empty and hollow as all of your lies I run from my demons Into the battle Fight for the confidence I lost At the hand of your comedy Let’s see who laughs now When it all ends and you see the costs Oh tell your stories And lock your halls Build your kingdom As your world falls Tell your Armies To guard their walls Cause the war will rage when I wake up tomorrow So I ask Did you find peace In all that you said Cause you caused that king To get caught in his head And I wonder If we’ll ever face what we dread Facing the fear of ourselves Cause I don’t know If we’ll ever find our way home You and I we’re lost In the same old lies Chorus Oh tell your stories And lock your halls Build your kingdom As your world falls Tell your Armies To guard their walls Cause the war will rage when I wake up tomorrow
