War Widow

A blur of faces and names replace

memories once set in stone

it seems complacency’s had its way

with every good man that i’ve ever known

I’m holding fear by its very ears,

but i will never give into self-absorption

so let me make this clear

Carelessness came so carefully

as it took me from integrity

and shrouded you in indecency

so here’s to ‘making this count’

and here’s to ‘keeping it real’

heres to all the bullshit we’ve concealed

as we forfeit doctrines and ideals

this is no kind of life

Listen to yourselves,

to every word that leaves your mouth

and consider its consequence

don’t speak if you’re in doubt

Break the mirror and squeeze the glass into your fragile hands

your fists fill with blood.

consider there’s more to this than you

too far from the dirt you can’t fathom

that these steps have always been walked for you

(i stood idle, in co-war-dice

and i gave myself to disease, i tore myself from everything

if not for yourself than at least for your friends

be the one to show them all, where pretentiousness ends)

i stood idle in cowardice

and i gave myself to disease, i tore myself from everything

retaliate, retaliate, i’m screaming at your clueless face

rid me of my memory

help me to feel anything.

This song is about selfishness and social justice, how

people that care only for themselves can suck all the

good from your life and leave a shade of grey over

everything. The bridge and culmination of the song

depicts the disappointment in seeing a person very close

to you change for the worse and the desperation of

trying to make them see the error of their ways. We’d

like to thank Jenna of Tonight Alive fame for her

contribution to this song, making for an extraordinary

ending.
