WAGE WAR LYRICS

1. Relapse

Relapse

Tear the stitch from my open wound
Time would heal but I never want it to
Roots run deep
Poison rushes through
Left its hooks in me

Severed my sense of truth
Severed my sense of truth

I take one step forward
Then two steps back
'Til I run out of time in the hourglass
When heaven is full
And hell don't want me back
Watch it fade to black
As I relapse

You might call me insane
Withdrawing from the pain
Tell myself I can change
Swear I'm not an addict
Just another bad habit

Just another bad, just another bad habit
Just another bad habit

I take one step forward
Then two steps back
'Til I run out of time in the hourglass
When heaven is full
And hell don't want me back
Watch it fade to black
As I relapse

I take one step forward
Then two steps back
'Til I run out of time in the hourglass
When heaven is full
And hell don't want me back
Watch it fade to black
As I relapse

I should stop but I ain't one to quit
So you can save yourself
Or free fall in this bottomless pit
Save yourself

2. Teeth

If I found a rope then you would tie the noose
You wouldn't die for me but I would hang for you
Do you call that a friend?
You drop the door while you watch me dance with death

I called your name but you were never there
You only took from me, but did you ever care?
'Cause when your back's to the wall
You disappear just in time to let me fall

Should've known it all along
Take what you need, use me up and then leave
Hard to believe you were company I shouldn't keep
Take what you need, now I see underneath
Wounds cut so deep when you lie to me right through your teeth

It's not love, you wouldn't get it
Accepting apologies but knowing you'd never give it
I think I'm pushed to the edge
Take it or leave it, but I won't forget

Take what you need, use me up and then leave
Hard to believe you were company I shouldn't keep
Take what you need, now I see underneath
Wounds cut so deep when you lie to me right through your teeth

I'm so tired of knives in my back
You smile to my face, it's only a mask
I'm so tired of knives in my back
Now I trust no one, to hell with the rats, go
To hell with the rats

Take what you need, use me up and then leave
Hard to believe you were company I shouldn't keep
Take what you need, now I see underneath
Wounds cut so deep when you lie to me right through your teeth
(Lie to me)
Take what you need
Lie to me right through your teeth
(Lie to me)
Take what you need
Lie to me right through your teeth

3. Manic

Fear hits like a drug in the veins
Hard to stop like a runaway train
Look around, but there's nobody to blame
Oh, what a shame

Spending nights just staring at the wall
Pay no mind to the demons in the hall
Yeah, I'm numb, I don't feel nothing at all
Braced for the fall

Try to calm myself down, but I feel the panic
Is it all up in my head? Am I going manic?
Try to calm myself down, but I feel the panic
Is it all up in my head? Manic
Manic

It's a war, but I'm never on attack
Holding on, but I'm slipping through the cracks
Don't wanna be another body in the stack
Never coming back

Spending nights just staring at the wall
Pay no mind to the demons in the hall
Yeah, I'm numb, I don't feel nothing at all
Braced for the fall

Try to calm myself down, but I feel the panic
Is it all up in my head? Am I going manic?
Try to calm myself down, but I feel the panic
Is it all up in my head? Manic
Manic

Try to calm myself down, but I feel the panic
Is it all up in my head? Am I going manic?
Try to calm myself down, but I feel the panic
Is it all up in my head? Manic

Out of body, out of mind
Telling everyone I'm fine, but I'm selling 'em a lie
Out of body, out of mind
Think I'm running out of time
Oh God, I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
Die

Try to calm myself down, but I feel the panic
Is it all up in my head?
Try to calm myself down, but I feel the panic
Is it all up in my head? Manic
Try to calm myself down, but I feel the panic
Is it all up in my head? Am I going manic?
Try to calm myself down, but I feel the panic
Is it all up in my head? Manic

4. High Horse

High horse

Been living under the gun since I first hit the road
Felt broken, lost and defeated, I hit my lowest lows
Incompetence is a killer when the mouth that speaks is ignorant
I'll see you choke on your words, self-righteous hypocrites

You wanna see a war?
I'm here to settle scores
Sic the hounds, cut you down from your high horse

Is this what you want?
Is this what you need?
Rip the flesh from the bone of the hand that feeds
You wanna see a war?
I'm here to settle scores
Sic the hounds, cut you down from your high horse

Cut you down from your high horse
A name unfit for a stone at its final resting place
The lonely fate of the wicked
Another unmarked grave

Caught the scent, took the bait
Now the hunter is the prey
Now the hunter is the prey

You wanna see a war?
I'm here to settle scores
Sic the hounds, cut you down from your high horse

Is this what you want?
Is this what you need?
Rip the flesh from the bone of the hand that feeds
You wanna see a war?
I'm here to settle scores
Sic the hounds, cut you down from your high horse
Cut you down from your high horse

Chambered one last round
Dead 'fore you hit the ground
Dead 'fore you hit the ground
Dead 'fore you hit the ground

5. Circle the Drain

I had a dream, where we were side by side
Would you believe, in a world where we weren't blind?
I saw us free, from pain and hate inside
But I woke to see, it was all just in my mind

I finally looked inside myself
And found my debt to pay
And if you took the chance
I think you'd probably feel the same

If we really wanna change
We gotta learn from our mistakes
Can we start over, start over?
With a past we can't erase
And a stain to every name
Will we find closure or circle the drain?
(Circle the drain)

We fill our heads, with lies and chemicals
We wonder when, the side effects withdraw

I finally looked inside myself
And found my debt to pay
And if you took the chance
I think you'd probably feel the same

If we really wanna change
We gotta learn from our mistakes
Can we start over, start over?
With a past we can't erase
And a stain to every name
Will we find closure or circle the drain?

They come to devour what solace breeds
The wolves are waiting
The hunt begins with me
The hunt begins with me

I finally looked inside myself
And found my debt to pay
And if you took the chance
I think you'd probably feel the same

If we really wanna change
We gotta learn from our mistakes
Can we start over, start over?
Can we start over, start over?

If we really wanna change
We gotta learn from our mistakes
Can we start over, start over?
With a past we can't erase
And a stain to every name
Will we find closure or circle the drain?
Will we find closure or circle the drain?

6. Godspeed

Godspeed

Manipulated, got a way with lies that stole my trust
So you could throw me in the fire that you built for us

You paralyzed the best in me
So all I'd feel is misery

You tried to
Bend me 'til I break
Bend me 'til I break, breakdown
Put me in the grave
Put me in the grave, facedown
Lying if I said
Wish you well ahead, I'm done now
Yeah, here's to you and me
So long, godspeed

Godspeed

You're hanging on to pieces shattered like shards of glass
Pull 'em closer 'cause you know you'll never get them back
If I never see your face again, that's too soon
This is overdue

You tried to
Bend me 'til I break
Bend me 'til I break, breakdown
Put me in the grave
Put me in the grave, facedown
Lying if I said
Wish you well ahead, I'm done now
Yeah, here's to you and me

You paralyzed the best in me
So all I'd feel is misery
You paralyzed the best in me
But I survived
And now you're dead to me
And now you're dead to me
(So long, so long)

You tried to
Bend me 'til I break
Bend me 'til I break, breakdown
Put me in the grave
Put me in the grave, facedown
Lying if I said
Wish you well ahead, I'm done now
Yeah, here's to you and me

You tried to
Bend me 'til I break
Bend me 'til I break, breakdown
Put me in the grave
Put me in the grave, facedown
Lying if I said
Wish you well ahead, I'm done now
Yeah, here's to you and me
Enjoy the misery, godspeed
Godspeed
Godspeed

7. Death Roll

Terrified in darkness
Another victim in its sight
So cold, so heartless
A hunger never satisfied

Eyes of death, mouth of hell
This wretched swamp we know so well

The hate that we hide
Crawls up from the depths
We gave you an inch
But you went for the neck

Take what you want, prey on the weak
We are the broken, we are the beast
Hunters of all, swallow you whole
Dragging you down in a death roll

Death roll

Condemned from birth
Underneath the dying sun
There can be no future here
When your instinct's "eat the young"

Hand in hand through the wasteland
We wave our final goodbye

Kill em all 'til there's nothing left
Kill em all 'til there's nothing left
Kill em all 'til there's nothing left
Cold blooded 'til the last breath

Take what you want, prey on the weak
We are the broken, we are the beast
Hunters of all, swallow you whole
Dragging you down in a death roll

Death roll

8. Slow Burn

I never give myself the time to heal
I bury all my flaws and failures so it won't feel real
Don't wanna think about what I regret
But now I think that I'm too deep, I'm in over my head

I admit I'm a mess, nothing's picture-perfect
I confess, I've misled, thought it'd all be worth it
But now I see that I've been holding back
The things that I should've felt all along

I wanna feel the slow burn
Make sure I feel everything
'Cause I'll never learn
If I don't face myself and finally let it hurt
No matter what's killing me
I stay numb to everything
I wanna feel the slow burn

I know I'm not who I'm supposed to be
I've got skeletons in closets, locked away, and lost the keys
But now I'm working on a better me
But being honest with myself is so much harder than it seems

I wanna feel the slow burn
Make sure I feel everything
'Cause I'll never learn
If I don't face myself and finally let it hurt
No matter what's killing me
I stay numb to everything
I wanna feel the slow burn

Now I see that I've been holding back
The things that I should've felt all along

I wanna feel the slow burn
Make sure I feel everything
'Cause I'll never learn
If I don't face myself and finally let it hurt (let it hurt)
No matter what's killing me
I stay numb to everything
I wanna feel the slow burn
Make sure I feel everything
'Cause I'll never learn
If I don't face myself and finally let it hurt
No matter what's killing me
I stay numb to everything
I wanna feel the slow burn

9. Never Said Goodbye

I never said goodbye

Nothing could prepare me for that call
Dropped to my knees, threw my phone against the wall
Said you were gone and I didn't believe it
This isn't real, I've just gotta be dreaming
It's never fair, you were taken way too soon
Feels like a knife in the heart, an open wound
Won't ever heal 'cause I'm tryna make sense
Of a world where you're not in existence

I know, yeah, I know, we never know our time
But I don't understand what's on the other side
Yeah, I know, yeah, I know, it's just a part of life
But I'm still asking why

Why'd I never say what I meant to?
All those things I wanted to tell you
I know you're home now in a better place
But I'm still searching for the words to say
I wish I would've known it was the last time
'Cause I never said goodbye

Hard to think that you're never coming home
And now you rest in a field beneath your stone
I find peace in the silence around me
And in the calm, I can feel you surrounding
I don't think that I'll ever understand
One day we're here then we fall like grains of sand
Do we wait in the pain that we live in
Or make the most of the time we're given?

Why'd I never say what I meant to?
All those things I wanted to tell you
I know you're home now in a better place
But I'm still searching for the words to say
I wish I would've known it was the last time
'Cause I never said goodbye

I know, yeah I know, we never know our time
But I don't understand what's on the other side
Yeah, I know, yeah, I know, it's just a part of life
I'll never know why

Why'd I never say what I meant to?
All those things I wanted to tell you
I know you're home now in a better place
But I'm still searching for the words to say
I wish I would've known it was the last time
'Cause I never said goodbye
'Cause I never said goodbye
'Cause I never said

10. True Colors

My true colors show

I've been living in black and white
Colors fade and life blurred the lines
A shade of grey in everybody's eyes
You've been saying that I can change
Really wish I could say the same
Tried to warn you but it's all in vain

You're not the first one who thought they could save me
And you won't be the last to replace me

We both know that I'm not who you need me to be
You don't know me it's only what I let you see
Never wanted to be so cold
But I'm better off alone
Let me go before my true colors show
My true colors show

Set yourself free
'Cause when I'm going down
I swear I'll take you down with me
Set yourself free
'Cause when I'm going down
I swear I'll take you down with me

We both know that I'm not who you need me to be
You don't know me it's only what I let you see
Never wanted to be so cold
But I'm better off alone
Let me go before my true colors show

Call me cruel but I tell it like it is
I got nothing left to give
Got nothing left to give

We both know that I'm not who you need me to be
You don't know me it's only what I let you see

We both know that I'm not who you need me to be
You don't know me it's only what I let you see
Never wanted to be so cold
But I'm better off alone
Let me go before my true colors show
My true colors show

11. If Tomorrow Never Comes

I woke up in the midst of madness
And saw the the world as it really is
Look myself in the mirror and accept
I had something to do with it
Oceans empty, rivers dry
Forests turned to ashes in the sky
You and I sat in solace as we
Watch the world burn
We sat in solace
As we watched the world burn

We've been living like the end would never truly come
Now it's knocking down your door and there's nowhere left to run

Out the window, yeah, the sky is falling
Saw the signs but we ignored the warnings
Hold my hand like this is our last morning
Watch the sunrise, for the last time
Want you to know you're enough
If tomorrow never comes

If tomorrow never comes

Wish I'd stood for greater purpose
I thought silence kept me safe
'Til it came for those I cherish
Now it drags us to the grave

Savor the taste of the bitter end
No time for forgiveness
Symptoms of the sickness
If I'm honest, we got what we deserved
We got what we deserved

Out the window, yeah, the sky is falling
Saw the signs but we ignored the warnings
Hold my hand like this is our last morning
Watch the sunrise, for the last time
Want you to know you're enough
If tomorrow never

We walked a path we can't retrace
And lost ourselves along the way
Now we're caught in the crossfire, with you I feel safe
We're beyond the veil in eternal embrace
We walked a path we can't retrace
And lost ourselves along the way
Now we're caught in the crossfire, with you I feel safe
We're beyond the veil in eternal embrace

We walked a path we can't retrace
And lost ourselves along the way
Now we're caught in the crossfire, with you I feel safe
We're beyond the veil in eternal embrace
We walked a path we can't retrace (we took everything for granted)
And lost ourselves along the way (for sorrow, for shame)
Now we're caught in the crossfire, with you I feel safe (welcome to our own Armageddon)
We're beyond the veil in eternal embrace (one day they'll find us face to face)
