[Intro]
Just me and Silent streets, empty shoes, broken truths
I Am Whispered hopes in the shadows, wearing their roots for me and you
Say baby please Jeremy stay Jeremy Peterson wait
[Verse 1]
Tattered uniforms fade into the night
Barefoot children chasing the fading light again we're singing a familiar tune
People who are Lost in time fight battles fought and won or lost but when all hope was gone the whole thing happened again and they stand in light
Dreams in disguise, trying to stay strong every time they hide in our minds eye it's just the love wins every time again and again
[Pre-Chorus]
They wear their scars like a second skin as the world watches them win again and again
Act Casual in chaos, where do they begin?
A thankless fight, a quiet plea that might win like a say yawnce
Holding on, in their might again
The casualties of war
[Instrumental]
Casualties of time we didn't win
The power to win again
Creating chaos and sin
The casualties of wat you did
The casualties of war
[Chorus]
Casual dress for casualties of war
Cover the wounds we can't ignore
Silken tears on roughed-up skin
Warriors within, trying to begin again faith no more no matter what love wins
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Faded medals hang by a thread and we heard that you were in
Stories etched where angels fear to tread
Wrapped in hope, dressed in despair again
Fighting silence, fighting fear once again love wins
[Pre-Chorus]
They wear their scars like a second skin
Casual in chaos, where do they begin?
A thankless fight, a quiet plead
Holding on, in their fleeting need
[Chorus]
Casual dress for casualties of war
Cover the wounds we can't ignore
Silken tears on roughed-up skin
Warriors within, trying to begin again
[Bridge]
Every stitch a silent prayer
Every tear is a desperate cry for help
In their calm, there's a storm near the sea
In their stillness, reborn just you and me
The casualties of war
[Verse 1]
Tattered uniforms fade into the night
Barefoot children chasing the fading light again we're singing a familiar tune
People who are Lost in time fight battles fought and won or lost but when all hope was gone the whole thing happened again and they stand in light
Dreams in disguise, trying to stay strong every time they hide in our minds eye it's just the love wins every time again and again
[Pre-Chorus]
They wear their scars like a second skin as the world watches them win again and again
Act Casual in chaos, where do they begin?
A thankless fight, a quiet plea that might win like a say yawnce
Holding on, in their might again
The casualties of war
[Instrumental]
Casualties of time we didn't win
The power to win again
Creating chaos and sin
The casualties of wat you did
The casualties of war
[Chorus]
Casual dress for casualties of war
Cover the wounds we conceal
