lyrics

One drive
One dream
What you started, it won't break you clean
Get out
Get free
Get up and gnash your teeth on me
Walls shake
Hearts break
One life
Don't piss it away

I lie in wait, in your name,
How can blood taste so much like blame
On my tongue?
If we can lie with each other
Then we can lie to one another
We can love one another
In this war or the next...
(One life)

I pray
You stay
I fight
But you slay
You scream
I rage
You blame (Look what you started)
This isn't me

I'd write your name in my blood
I'd rest your blame on my tongue
If I'm the moon and the stars then you are the sun
There's a darkness inside but it can be so much fun

I want to say my peace
Again, I want only peace, my friend
I'm not the man you think I am
But I can pretend

One life
We take
One dream away
One day
You'll pray
This is war, and you pissed it all away

Don't want my name on your tongue
I don't want your blood on my rug
In this war or the next
My friend, you'll meet the end
This was never your's
(It was mine)

One war
One voice
One scar
No choice
One wall
One light
I'm out
I'm free
You get nothing
No, you get nothing
