Feed the cut and get in line
To live and burn is tug-o-war
Raped!
Go back and forth until it's learned
To suffer now or nothing's gained
Then wake within a freezing sweat
Push and pull, collecting doubt
Starting seeds
Lost inspiration
Panic on the rise
A severed attempt ignored
The reason never outweighs the truth
So backing up and lean against
The liars club come'th shame
Wasting farther, collecting doubt
Starting seeds
Lost inspiration
Panic on the rise
A severed attempt ignored
So hand it off
Don't care enough
Cause ignorance
Is in blissful reach
Lost inspiration
Panic on the rise
A severed attempt ignored
Lost inspiration
Never played the game
A severed attempt ignored
To live and burn is tug-o-war
Raped!
Go back and forth until it's learned
To suffer now or nothing's gained
Then wake within a freezing sweat
Push and pull, collecting doubt
Starting seeds
Lost inspiration
Panic on the rise
A severed attempt ignored
The reason never outweighs the truth
So backing up and lean against
The liars club come'th shame
Wasting farther, collecting doubt
Starting seeds
Lost inspiration
Panic on the rise
A severed attempt ignored
So hand it off
Don't care enough
Cause ignorance
Is in blissful reach
Lost inspiration
Panic on the rise
A severed attempt ignored
Lost inspiration
Never played the game
A severed attempt ignored

I think the song is about a personal struggle with yourself. like maybe you are a certain way. and you dont like it about yourself so maybe you wanna change it. but you shouldn't change yourself. so you have a personal tug-o-war with yourself. and maybe it means that you rape yourself? idk. really good song. full of energy... and just cuz the title has "war" in it. doesnt mean its about BUSH or the WAR. jeez
