The Wars We Wage Lyrics by The World Over

Rampart District

2017

[Verse 1]
You won't hear the sound of defeat
This is for the broken down (Down)
Get back on your feet
Get back on your feet
I've grown to
Build skin that
The sharpest knives can't cut into
The sharpest knives can't cut into
[Chorus]
Because you cannot imagine the war
That waged against their skin that night
Unless you bare the battle scars
It's not a passage right
All wounds can heal, can't you see
It's not a passage right
It's not a passage right
Atonement isn't with a noose or a blade
Open your eyes
[Verse 2]
You only bring the ones you love down
Turn your pain into what is good
I know you can make a change
You gotta do what you gotta do, Come on
So show me now with your hands
How many of you are hurting too?
Open your eyes or claim your demise
These are the lessons we learn in our life (in our life)
Open your eyes or claim your demise
These are the lessons we learn in our life (in our life)
[Pre-Chorus]
Life will test you to see what
It takes to bring you down
Survivors were the ones
That got back off the ground
[Chorus]
Because you cannot imagine the war
That waged against their skin that night
Unless you bare the battle scars
It's not a passage right
All wounds can heal, can't you see?
This isn't what you need
It's not a passage right
This isn't what you need
Atonement isn't with a noose or a blade
[Outro]
How far
How fast
We've come
You can't begin to imagine the war
Just how
Can you say you'd
Last one day
In my shoes
I've grown to
Build skin that
The sharpest knives can't cut into
