Defective soldier, forgotten shore
Lost the message, can't lose the war
Count a blessing, count friends in early graves
It's numbered days and finding ways
Divide what got lost by what got saved
This is Weird War, we struggle strange
Thought I was a soldier, now I feel like terrain
Trade shots trade pills for the pain
The phantom limbs reaching for better days
That never stay
Do our best with the ones that remain
If I could see the future, a year to the day
Would have told you I loved you
Instead I just called to say
"Hey"
It's dog eat dog, it's how we survive
It's hard to love the same people we cannibalize
My teeth are tired, my belly's tight
And I'd love to find something to get this
bitter taste out of my mouth tonight
But this is Weird War, you're not to blame
You just think of your heart
in terms of real estate
A fixer upper, a variable rate
Your crumbling castle, your failed estate
I gave the order
"Lay siege to the gates!"
You gave the order
"Do not resuscitate!"
I failed the mission, a year to the day
Should have told you I loved you
Instead I just allied to say
"Hey"
Try your call again
