Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Wake up to sirens and scrolling feeds

Heroes in hashtags, bodies in streets

Leaders in boardrooms raising a toast

To numbers and borders and casualties posts

Bombs in the distance, ads in my face

“Buy a new heaven, upgrade your faith”

I’m counting the lies like rosary beads

Praying for mercy that nobody reads

[Chorus]

This is a war song

For the ones who never held a gun

For the quiet kids

Dragging all the dead weight of the sun

Screaming in the cracks in the concrete

Bleeding in the back of the nosebleeds

This is a war song

Tell me, when do we get to be free? (hey!)

[Verse 2]

Marching in circles, chewing on glass

Hope on a credit card, maxed out fast

They sell us a future, glitching and grey

Then bill us in dreams we still gotta pay

Mother is crying into the rain

Father’s reflection is fogged with shame

I wear my despair like second skin

If I tear it away, what’s left within?

[Chorus]

This is a war song

For the ones who never held a gun

For the quiet kids

Dragging all the dead weight of the sun

Screaming in the cracks in the concrete

Bleeding in the back of the nosebleeds

This is a war song

Tell me, when do we get to be free? (oh yeah)

[Bridge]

If I burn my flag

Will the sky catch fire?

If I cut my strings

Will I fall or fly higher?

Name every ghost

They’re all standing here

Sing their names loud

Till the suits taste fear (hey!)

[Chorus]

This is a war song

For the ones who never held a gun

For the quiet kids

Dragging all the dead weight of the sun

Screaming in the cracks in the concrete

Bleeding in the back of the nosebleeds

This is a war song

Tell me, when do we get to be free?
