This Is War Lyrics by James LaBrie

Static Impulse

2010

[Verse 1: Peter Wildoer]
Tell me what are you trying to prove
Spreading lies spinning stories
What gain do you get from all of this?
Is it fame, is it glory?

Don't try to be someone that you're not
Cause you know I'm not buying
The more that you open up your mouth
It's more time that you're lying

[Pre-Chorus: James LaBrie]
That it's time to redefine
You and me
It's clear that you
Are my enemy

[Chorus: James LaBrie]
I'm ready
So why don't you come get me?
What are you waiting for?
There's no point in charades anymore
This is war, this is war

[Verse 2: Peter Wildoer]
I see how you're playing innocent
But I know what you're doing
You smile as you stab me in the back
So that trouble is brewing

To you it's all one big silly game
Just to see me defeated
I hope that you've gotten all your thrills
Did you get what you needed?

[Pre-Chorus: James LaBrie]
That it's time to redefine
You and me
It's clear that you
Are my enemy

[Chorus: James LaBrie]
I'm ready
So why don't you come get me?
What are you waiting for?
There's no point in charades anymore
This is war, this is war

[Bridge: James LaBrie]
You couldn't leave well enough alone
The lights are on but nobody's home

[Guitar Solo]
[Keyboard Solo]

[Pre-Chorus: James LaBrie]
That it's time to redefine
You and me
It's clear that you
Are my enemy

[Chorus: James LaBrie]
I'm ready
So why don't you come get me?
What are you waiting for?
There's no point in charades anymore
This is war, this is war

[Chorus: James LaBrie]
I'm ready
So why don't you come get me?
What are you waiting for?
There's no point in charades anymore
This is war, this is war
