You've got philosophies but you never think
You wanna study me, you know it's gonna sting
Oh why are you setting me off?
Oh why are you putting me down?
Ain't you learned enough of me a to z, a to z
hey, hey, hey, yeah

You stick the knife in me right before my eyes
And tell me "I didn't know, didn't know, didn't know"
I'm not afraid of you, maybe I oughta be?
I saw a lover true,
But you're nothing I've ever seen

You're finding a way to bury me
in my mind
My own thoughts are a weapon to myself
shattering my life

Look out my love,
we're in a war machine
With us you know nothing is what it seems
And any victory is so bitter sweet
Look out my love, we're in a war machine

You stick the knife in me right before my eyes
And tell me "I didn't know, didn't know, didn't know"
Take away my life

Look out my love,
we're in a war machine
With us you know nothing is what it seems
And any victory is so bitter sweet
We lost ourselves building a war machine
Is it a war machine we're building?
Is it a life with me you're willing?
