Same Old War

In the midst of battle

My heart is wavering

Don't let go

From this darkness

Verse 1

Wake up, cold sweat, blood on the floor

Katana hum when I open the door

Say you’re peace but you move like a curse

Say it’s love but it always gets worse

White knuckles wrapped round a rusted hilt

Bow to the blade like I’m drowning in guilt

Say I’m done, say I’m breaking the chain

Two steps forward, I’m back in the rain

Honor code written deep in my veins

Every swing got a taste of the pain

You move smooth, I get sloppy and slow

Every time I swear I’m letting you go

Pre-Chorus (Fast / Chopped)

Circle me, cut the air, don’t blink

Heartbeat loud when I fucking think

One more hit, one more lie, one more chance

Blood on the mat when we start this dance

Chorus (Hook – Dark & Catchy)

Blade clash, feel it in my spine

Say I’m done but I’m outta time

I step back, then I lean right in

Same old war that I never win

(Background vocals)

Tatakai no naka de (戦いの中で)

Kokoro ga yureru (心が揺れる)

Hanasanai de (離さないで)

Kono yami kara (この闇から)

Verse 2

You bow real slow like you mean respect

Then cut me down when my guard gets left

Call it love, call it fate, call it need

Same sharp edge every time I bleed

I wear your mark like a family crest

Carved in bone, sitting heavy in my chest

Say it’s us versus all of the rest

But you’re the one that’s fucking me best

Hands shake bad when I hear your name

Sun goes down, yeah, I’m back in the game

Say I hate you, say I need you more

Same battlefield, same score

Pre-Chorus (Faster / More Aggressive)

Step in close, smell the rust

Say it’s different, say I trust

Eyes locked when the blade comes down

King of hell in a paper crown

Chorus

Blade clash, feel it in my spine

Say I’m done but I’m outta time

I step back, then I lean right in

Same old war that I never win

(In the midst of battle

My heart is wavering

Don't let go

From this darkness)

Bridge (Half-Time / Menacing)

If I walk away, will you hunt me down?

If I stay, am I fucking bound?

Love or poison, I can’t tell

Same damn road straight into hell

I drop my armor, fall to my knees

Swear this time you won’t get me

Hear your voice when I try to sleep

Say my name and the wound gets deep

Final Chorus (Bigger / Desperate)

Blade clash, let the night decide

Who walks out and who fucking dies

I draw the line, hands still shake

Last damn stand that I gotta make

(Background vocals)

Tatakai no naka de

Kokoro ga yureru

Ima owari ni shite (今 終わりにして)

Kono yami kara

Outro (Spoken / Broken)

Same enemy

Different mask

Still standing

Still fucked up
