This Is War - Lone Wolf

Been picking up sticks to burn her enemies down

I do what I can for her

I slaughtered her a cow and I’m a vegetarian

That’s not man enough for her, not bloody enough

I used my chemistry skills to bake her every pill she could swallow

She prayed to god and she called me a sinner, science isn’t the way to win her

She gave me every disease under the sun before she ran for another town

My body reacts to her

How bodies react to her

She’s facing due north when she’s facing due east

She’s got parking violations dating back to '63

She’s got a ladder by the stairs

She uses it to sharpen her teeth

We fear for our lives around her

We fear for our lives

The demons are alive in her head that’s why we have to make sense of every tiny

word that she says

She stole my twenties from me

My face has never looked so thin

I hide behind facial hair but people aren’t stupid, they can see what I’m doing

I’m trying to pretend I won this war between my brain and her brawn

But this is a war I won’t be coming home from

Now I’m lying through my teeth again

It’s a trait she taught me well

If truth had been told from the start I’d have never seen hell

Will someone get a message to my father and say «Dad I won’t be coming home I’m

gonna take this all the way»

My kids will understand someday
