lyrics

Victory by the new rules of war
Measured by how far we cut others down
Pre-emptive strikes are how we settle the score
Daisy cutters drop on unready towns

I gotta kill you, sweetheart
Before you tear me apart

We hold our weapons so close
Because it makes us feel like
We haven’t lost control
But we have lost it

Lines in the sand and you’ll feel it tonight
Our weapons have already been drawn
Cities of ash were our spoils of war
From the battles that we already won
I’ve got a thousand paper cuts from the notes that you wrote
My words are bullets loaded into a gun
If you’re looking for a fight, you’ll get one tonight
Our weapons have already been drawn

Remembering all the treacherous things
You gotta keep that shit in the past
If you’re taking of on treacherous wings
You can’t make anything that will last

I gotta kill you, sweetheart
Before you tear me apart

We hold our weapons so close
Because it makes us feel like
We haven’t lost control
But we have lost it

Lines in the sand and you’ll feel it tonight
Our weapons have already been drawn
Cities of ash were our spoils of war
From the battles that we already won
I’ve got a thousand paper cuts from the notes that you wrote
My words are bullets loaded into a gun
If you’re looking for a fight, you’ll get one tonight
Our weapons have already been drawn

We hold our weapons so close
Because it makes us feel like
We haven’t lost control
But we have lost it

Lines in the sand and you’ll feel it tonight
Our weapons have already been drawn
Cities of ash were our spoils of war
From the battles that we already won
I’ve got a thousand paper cuts from the notes that you wrote
My words are bullets loaded into a gun
If you’re looking for a fight, you’ll get one tonight
Our weapons have already been drawn
