Senseless War
Why do we fight against the burning flames
While we're well aware of the consequence and cost
Why do we play these mind games
It doesn't make any sense when we've already lost
Why do you drown me in a pool of my own sorrow
Is this truly what we have become
Our hearts have turned so hollow
Our demons have won
Tear me down why don't you
Take every part of me
Since I'm only here to entertain you
You have stolen more from me
Then what you can see
Continue to build yourself up
Until there's nothing left of me
Because you know that in the end
I'll claim my victory
I have become numb to the pain
Not even the lightening can strike my nerves
I may fall along with the rain
But when I hit the ground it won't hurt
I won't expose my vulnerability
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
In reality
Pretending is a new talent of mine
Tear me down why don't you
Take every part of me
Since I'm only here to entertain you
You have stolen more from me
Then what you can see
Continue to build yourself up
Until there's nothing left of me
Because you know that in the end
I'll claim my victory
Why must we fight wars
In order to obtain peace
Why must we gain scars
To become free
Did your deomans burn away purity
Did your demons murder the spirit inside
Did it expose your insecurity
Making you feel alone
With no place to hide.
