lyrics
There's nothing civil
About this war
Our words are rusted
And our hearts are sore
You don't even know
What you're fighting for
Blood is thicker than water
Water can turn into wine
Let's drink to our demise
Let's cannibalize
Our good intentions and get drunk on life
A pauper in a kingdom
Built on bed sheets and lies
There's nothing civil
About this war
Our words are rusted
And our hearts are sore
You don't even know
What you're fighting for
United in our derision
We've got bigger things than division
To open the battle scars
I don't like who are
And you say that we all bleed the same
But with your blood the game has changed
When we open up my unwilling veins...
They only serve to soothe your pain
Burn it down
We hide underground
And we cover our face
And we say it's a shame
About this war
Our words are rusted
And our hearts are sore
You don't even know
What you're fighting for
Blood is thicker than water
Water can turn into wine
Let's drink to our demise
Let's cannibalize
Our good intentions and get drunk on life
A pauper in a kingdom
Built on bed sheets and lies
There's nothing civil
About this war
Our words are rusted
And our hearts are sore
You don't even know
What you're fighting for
United in our derision
We've got bigger things than division
To open the battle scars
I don't like who are
And you say that we all bleed the same
But with your blood the game has changed
When we open up my unwilling veins...
They only serve to soothe your pain
Burn it down
We hide underground
And we cover our face
And we say it's a shame
