It's a new aggravation
Pulling at my strings
Trying to control us
and ruin everything
This is war
This is war
Set it on fire
and light it up again
Breaking up the chaos
The silence of our speech.
This is war
This is war
This is war
This is war
My fingers are throbbing again
From gripping against the wind
The pedal is too the floor
I know that I need more
This is war
This is war
This is war
This is war

It’s holding me back again
The door keeps on swinging in
I’m waiting for the doctor
To tell me what I need
They’re giving me more and more
What I’ve been looking for
A reason to neglect
and never go looking back
Chorus:
I’ve got a new medication
It’s giving me information
I’ve got a new medication
I need a new lifeline
Bridge:
Don’t look away
I’ll band aid the pain
Whatever you say
Will I be okay
from feeling this way
I don’t understand
Chorus:
I’ve got a new medication
It’s giving me information
I’ve got a new medication
I need a new lifeline

You took out all the romance
and hit me with a brick
I never saw it coming
How did it come to this
I’m running and screaming
Until you can hear my voice
It’s hard when, you’re too far away
and I don’t have a choice.
Lost in translation
Money on our minds
Slaughtering the sheep
Cancelling the crimes
I’m running and screaming
Until you can hear my voice
It’s hard when, you’re too far away
and I don’t have a choice.

Violence done in secret
Hidden from the world
Many won’t believe it
Or say that you’re to blame
Chorus:
I’m not afraid to kick you out
It’s only fair to let you know
I’m not afraid to be alone
Never in the headlines
Swept into the trash
Trust in rarely broken
To never tell a friend.
Chorus:
I’m not afraid to kick you out
It’s only fair to let you know
I’m not afraid to be alone
Cause your abuse isn’t love 3x
Bridge:
Make it out alive

Walking next to me
Trying to be seen
A martyr to your goal
You’re out here all alone
Hide away the sun
It gets darker and you’re in it
Drowning in the rain
Standing in the thickness
A life that never came.
Hide away the sun

A broken moment of time, longer than I remember. I couldn’t climb my way out.
The best and worst of us we’re starting to blend together. I couldn’t tell them apart.
Bury me, set me free
I’ve crossed too many lines that bleed.
Bury me, set me free
I walked the edge enough to see.
Which way is up when your intentions are low.
It’s hard to stand on my own.
When Doors are slamming in the face of your goals, keep coming back for more.
Bury me, set me free
I’ve crossed too many lines that bleed.
Bury me, set me free
I walked the edge enough to see.

You turned off the lights
You didn’t want me to see
A perfect romance
I wanted to feel.
One way mind
(you make it hard to speak)
One way mind
(truth is so hard to sell)
One way mind
(The walls are closing in)
One way mind.
We lost a lot of time
Waiting to grow up
Resistance made me weak
I could hardly think.
Chorus:
We followed all the rules
We skipped a year of school
Up in the ivory tower
We watched as thousands died
From a

Do you believe in taking chances
The second they arise?
I wanna walk to the edge of the earth
and look to the other side.
Chorus:
The world around us falls to pieces.
I don’t wanna refuse to believe it.
Everything’s so sterilized
enough to bury me
Ostracized from growing older
Synthetic alchemy.
Chorus:
The world around us falls to pieces.
I don’t wanna refuse to believe it.
Back to where we hate our neighbors
to never answer the door.
Walking over troubled strangers
pretending to ignore…
Chorus:
The world around us falls to pieces.

I wanna abuse you
I wanna re-use you
I wanna refuse you
I wanna confuse you
I wanna misuse you
I wanna consume you
Opioid it’s true
I’m in love with you
I wanna be lied to
I wanna confine to
I wanna forget you
I wanna feel nothing
I wanna be something
I wanna destroy you
Opioid it’s true
I’m in love with you
I wanna abuse you
I wanna re-use you
I wanna refuse you
I wanna confuse you
I wanna misuse you
I wanna consume you
Opioid it’s true
I’m in love with you

My parents raised me to do what they couldn’t do
It’s not so crazy to do what others wouldn’t do.
I want to go
Where no ones gone before
I want to go
To the farthest place unknown
Abuse and rejection outweighs the greatest fear.
You’re left with chances that need to be taken and not abandoned.
I want to go
Where no ones gone before
I want to go
To the farthest place unknown
Breakdown:
I want to go
Outro:
Standing in the deep end
Kicking my way out
Running with a tail wind
The faster I get out
—-
Standing in the deep end
Kicking my way out
Swimming past a sinking ship
Erasing all my doubts.
