War - Livingston

I sleep with the lights off

And hope for the best

As all of your words

Fly like knives through my chest

Stick to your slander

Put me to the test

I hope that it brings you some comfort

Oh tell your stories

And lock your halls

Build your kingdom

As your world falls

Tell your Armies

To guard their walls

Cause the war will rage when I wake up tomorrow

Strike me down

Tell me I’m worthless

As if I deserve it

It makes me strong

Take my crown

I know past the surface

You’re empty and hollow as all of your lies

I run from my demons

Into the battle

Fight for the confidence I lost

At the hand of your comedy

Let’s see who laughs now

When it all ends and you see the costs

Oh tell your stories

And lock your halls

Build your kingdom

As your world falls

Tell your Armies

To guard their walls

Cause the war will rage when I wake up tomorrow

So I ask

Did you find peace

In all that you said

Cause you caused that king

To get caught in his head

And I wonder

If we’ll ever face what we dread

Facing the fear of ourselves

Cause I don’t know

If we’ll ever find our way home

You and I we’re lost

In the same old lies

Oh tell your stories

And lock your halls

Build your kingdom

As your world falls

Tell your Armies

To guard their walls

Cause the war will rage when I wake up tomorrow
