Lyrics

RAT WARS

[Verse 1]

What was here before the rocks and forests?

I don't care

It's hard enough to deal with human forces

I was never happy for you

You were weighing me down

You never trusted me

But I'm over it now

[Refrain]

Tell me what you wanted

[Verse 2]

I've been calling back to those before us

But they didn't hear

I've been losing friends and enemies

It's even now

I looked underneath the dirt and bodies

And there's nothing there

If I can hear the voices echoing

It's in my head

Did you find a higher purpose?

It never worked for me

I'm just waiting around

[Refrain]

Tell me where we're going
