War Paint

[Verse 1]

I've still got passion, and I've still got guts

But I no longer give a fuck about what you want

You say I'm a savior and a saint

Then let's stop pretending and pull out the war paint

Or do you refuse to open old wounds

In fear that you'll actually have to feel

[Chorus 1]

We try so hard, we try to just pretend

That things didn't change as the honeymoon set

This house, this ring, the secrets shared in bed

Were built on the faith in the foundation

And I feel the bend

[Verse 2]

The fucking more I see who you've become

The more I lose sight of the love

That I once had in your brown eyes

I used to be afraid that this would end

Now I embrace it

We are ships passing through the night

[Chorus 1]

[Bridge]

I see bright lights flicker ahead

I see stars shining to their death

I see you

And I don't know what to do

[Chorus 2]

Beautiful sunset, passionate kiss

These things mean nothing when you cannot come to terms with

The person who you are, and who you're meant to be

Are separated by a sea of insecurities

I've been digging out from underneath

An avalanche that has taken twenty years to see

Our reality is our own to create

And the sooner that you realize that

The sooner that you can change

[Bridge]

Or history will just hit repeat

And you will pass your poison down onto your child's feet

And they will struggle, struggle to breathe

Cowering in shadows that you cast they cannot see

[Chorus 2]

[Outro]

I won't repeat. I won't repeat

I won't repeat the things that I can change

I won't repeat. I won't repeat

I won't repeat the things that I can change
