Cold War

Don't you hate it when the truth sets you up to fail
When it flashes in your face to show how far you fell
And I try to rise but my heart sinks
And you try to help but your touch just stings

I'm tired of playing puppet in your damn Cold War
Of marching off to battle lines just to watch them blur
Before I get there

You've broken promises you never knew you couldn't keep
And you don't seem to know it's poison that I'm breathing deep
And I try to fight but I swing and miss
And all I can taste is your Judas kiss

I can't just stay here silent as we're wearing thin
But my God don't shoot the messenger just because she sings
It's all she knows

So drop some bombs
Raise some hell
Make some noise
Make some war
Just make some progress
Anything we can call progress
I can't survive these changing minds
These trading sides
These traitor's lies
We're getting nowhere
Can't you see that we're getting nowhere

And I won't just be a martyr for your broken cause
It's killing me and can't you see that it's your fault
I'm crying out with all I've got please take up arms
Or lay 'em down
But this in-between ends right now

'Cause I'm tired of pretending that my heart's not sore
From all the fights you've never had in this Cold War
