Youʼve got philosophies but you never think
You wanna study me, you know itʼs gonna sting
Oh why are you setting me off?
Oh why are you putting me down?
Ain’t you learned enough of me a to z, a to z hey, hey, hey, yeah

You stick the knife in me right before my eyes
And tell me “I didnʼt know, didnʼt know, didnʼt know”
Iʼm not afraid of you, maybe I oughta be?
I saw a lover true, but youʼre nothing Iʼve ever seen

Youʼre finding a way to bury me in my mind
My own thoughts are a weapon to myself, shattering my life

Look out my love, weʼre in a war machine
With us you know nothing is what it seems
And any victory is so bitter sweet
Look out my love, weʼre in a war machine

You stick the knife in me right before my eyes
And tell me “I didnʼt know, didnʼt know, didnʼt know”
Take away my life

Look out my love, weʼre in a war machine
With us you know nothing is what it seems
And any victory is so bitter sweet
We lost ourselves building a war machine
Is it a war machine weʼre building?
Is it a life with me youʼre willing?
