Lyrics War - Livingston

War

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
