  • I don't know what you had in mind
    But here we stand on opposing sides
    Let's go to war
    Let's go to war
    We arm ourselves with the wrongs we've done
    Name them off one by one
    Let's go to war
    Let's go to war

    Everything you say
    Everything you do
    You push it in and you cut me down
    And you cut me down
    (War, war, war)

    Screaming at the ones we love
    Like we forgot who we can trust
    Screaming at the top of our lungs
    On the grounds where we feel safe
    Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?

    Hush, my baby, make no sound
    Maybe we can wait each other out
    It's a cold war
    Let's go to war

    With every settled score
    I thought that fighting with meant fighting for
    But you turned it around
    But you turned it around
    (War, war, war)

    Screaming at the ones we love
    Like we forgot who we can trust
    Screaming at the top of our lungs
    On the grounds where we feel safe
    Screaming at the ones we love
    Like we forgot who we can trust
    Screaming at the top of our lungs
    On the grounds where we feel safe
    Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?

    Do we censor or do we flow?
    Are we drunk on the chemicals?
    Every feeling in my bones tells me to lash out
    And tell you, "fuck off"
    You've got my heart and I've got your soul
    But are we better off alone?
    With every battle, we lose a little more
    Remember everything that we died for
    You are everything that I die for

    Screaming at the ones we love
    Like we forgot who we can trust
    Screaming at the top of our lungs
    On the grounds where we feel safe
    Screaming at the ones we love
    Like we forgot who we can trust
    Screaming at the top of our lungs
    On the grounds where we feel safe
    Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
    Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
    Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
    Do you feel safe? Writer/s: BENJAMIN MICHAEL ANDERSON, DANIEL OLIVER, DAVID ANDREW PRAMIK, JONNY HAWKINS, MARK ANTHONY VOLLELUNGA, WILL B HOFFMAN
