Dance Gavin Dance - War Machine lyrics

Risking your position when you feel like you're invincible
Can't whip intuitions, I said "I think this ship sinkable"
Give ourselves permission to be pitiful and miserable
My business is to walk the line and make it sound original

I wouldn't be a class advantage
I can fake being vulnerable
Or I could laugh up, my life is planned
You weren't afraid, you were grateful

Didn't wanna have to sing about our tragedies
(But they've been)
Overwhelmingly consuming me
I wanted to grow, I wanted to change
Couldn't do it alone, trauma got in the way
So I've been greedy for guidance
Thirsting for some

Stifled silence left the world in my place
My skin suit I never wear

Your judgement means nothing to me
I'd rather steal than borrow
I collect more rapidly
You're mentally unstable
I won't hold back, it's my destiny
Filled all my cracks so I sleep restfully

I've invested in the war machine
You're a piece of shit who doesn't care
I've got millions of mouths to feed
Machine you know, I love to shit
And this virus is my only vice
It's my skin suit I never wear
(Skin suit I never wear)
I'm always grinning with my pearly whites
I chew the wires and long hair

Didn't wanna have to sing about our tragedies
(But they've been)
Overwhelmingly consuming me
I wanted to grow, I wanted to change
Couldn't do it alone, trauma got in the way
So I've been greedy for guidance
Yearning for some

Is it fine by me lad?
That one fingered peace sign
Devolution idolize with [?] on their ropes
Pollution seekers, they breach through the house
Lives can be swatted by a pig with the pearls

W-what I mean, I don't climb up stairs
Just to climb up stairs
Just to climb up stairs that go nowhere
Help, who the fuck are you?
(Who the fuck are you?)
Who the fuck are you?
(Who the fuck are you?)
Who the fuck are you to sing out loud?

Your chaos finally made me bleed
Fumbling my bravado
Been searching for serenity
A tribal path to follow you
We've all heard bones crack from the impact
And now I'm coming back to try and build a masterpiece

We didn't wanna have to sing about our tragedies
(But they've been)
Overwhelmingly consuming me
I wanted to grow, I wanted to change
Couldn't do it alone, trauma got in the way
So I've been greedy for guidance
Yearning for some
