Hook:
It's a world war
Going on inside of us
It's my first tour
So I don't really know too much
About these battles and betrayals
The way that you turn the tables
They're saying that this'll save you
But I can't see how
I thought that they were fables
But fighting puts you in danger
I'm laying next to a stranger
But I just need you now
I just need you now
I just need you
Verse 1:
As I scan the battlefield
What is real anymore?
All these tattered tears
Running down my uniform
Waiting for you to call
Like looking for a unicorn
It never comes and I'm absorbed
In my forlorn I can't go on
But it's my duty
Life isn't like in the movies
It's a different kind of shooting
Only care when you're producing
I think the truth is
That we're all praying for truces
We see the fighting is useless
You can hear it in the music
Everyone goes through it
Disputes, don't know what we're doing
A little bit of confusion and the foundation's in ruins
So let's look at this like humans
And find a better solution
No jumping to conclusions
We've got a common communion

Verse 2:
I thought we came to an understanding
But you took it for granted
Planned it, and then you landed
In a land where you were stranded
My heart's missing in action
You don't know who went and captured it
You're using special tactics
Tracking every one of my habits
Like I'm a savage
Like all I do is bring damage
Well, how would you manage
When you're at a disadvantage
Could never really be candid
I gotta throw underhanded
Or they wouldn't understand it
The hunger of all the famished
The sorrow for all the vanished
The panic and all the sadness
The badness and the disasters
The madness and then the laughter
When hope's no longer living
And you don't know what you're after
Don't know if there is happy
But you write another chapter
