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?
