War Machine

Dance Gavin Dance

5

Risking your position when you feel like you′re invincible

Kid with intuition says "I think this ship is sinkable"

Give ourselves permission to be pitiful and miserable

My business is to walk the line and make this death original

Who wanted bad glad sad mad dad chad?

I can fake being vulnerable

Or I can laugh off my life, it's planned

You weren′t afraid, you want grateful?

Didn't wanna have to sing about our tragedies

(But they've been)

Overwhelmingly consuming me

I wanted to grow, I wanted to change

Couldn′t do it alone, trauma got in the way

So I′ve been greedy for guidance

Thirsting for soul

Stifled silence by my own device

My skin suit I never wear

Your judgement means nothing to me

I'd rather steal than borrow

I collect more weaponry

You′re mentally unstable

I won't hold back, it′s my destiny

Filled all my cracks so I sleep restfully

I've invested in the war machine

You′re a piece of shit who doesn't care

I've got millions of mouths to feed

My seed you know, I love to share

Endless violence is my only vice

It′s my skin suit I never wear

(Skin suit I never wear)

I′m always grinning with my pearly whites

At your blue eyes and long hair

Didn't wanna have to sing about our tragedies

(But they′ve been)

Overwhelmingly consuming me

I wanted to grow, I wanted to change

Couldn't do it alone, trauma got in the way

So I′ve been greedy for guidance

Yearning for soul

Here's a fine by me line

That one fingered peace sign

The delusion idolized with wounds in their rounds

The lonesome stink eyes, they preach to the house flys

Can′t be swatted by a pig with the pearls

W-what? I mean, I don't climb up stairs

Just to climb up stairs

Just to climb up stairs to go nowhere

Help, who the fuck are you?

(Who the fuck are you?)

Who the fuck are you?

(Who the fuck are you?)

Who the fuck are you to say I lose

Pure chaos finally made me bleed

Fumbling my bravado

Been searching for serenity

A travelled path to follow

We've all heard bones crack from the impact

And now I′m coming back to try and build a masterpiece

We didn′t wanna have to sing about our tragedies

(But they've been)

Overwhelmingly consuming me

I wanted to grow, I wanted to change

Couldn′t do it alone, trauma got in the way

So I've been greedy for guidance

Yearning for soul
