You stab me with a jagged knife
Within an inch of losing life
I grab a club and beat you down
I kick you while you’re laid out on the ground
We’re wasted but keep giving it our all
Like broken warriors we’ll fight until we fall

The battle rages forward
We’re locked inside this dance of doom
We thought we’d never do this
Turns out that nobody’s immune
We’ve got to stop inflicting
All these self-inflicted wounds

I ask you if you can forgive
Your answer overflows with expletives
You’ve marked me as the enemy
Now we’re a self-fulfilling prophecy
Where every word just makes things worse
Will you lay your weapons down if I lay mine down first?

The battle rages forward
We’re locked inside this dance of doom
We thought we’d never do this
Turns out that nobody’s immune
We’ve got to stop inflicting
All these self-inflicted wounds

Everything’s not black and white
We can both be wrong; we can both be right
Let’s just agree we disagree
And finally end this fight

The battle rages forward
We’re locked inside this dance of doom
We thought we’d never do this
Turns out that nobody’s immune
We’ve got to stop inflicting
All these self-inflicted wounds
