War

Never really had a problem with you
All along, I thought our friendship was true
Put my trust in you right from the start
I never dreamed that you would be my enemy
The knife to take my heart
You screwed me in the perfect way, a friend betrayed
Just another mourner, content to follow orders

Leave behind your conscience, abandon those who need you most
Convince yourself you're noble, but we both know it's not so
But if you cross my battle line, you'll find
You'll be sorry that you tried

If it's war that you want, then you got it
If it's pain, well, I brought what you need
If it's true what you say, you're the best, then let's play
You won't believe it until you see it
When I kick your ass and look you in the eye
With a smile and a cheerful heart, I'll turn to you and wave
Goodbye

I'll be honest, I was plenty surprised
Turned from family to full-on despised
Just like you to take the coward's way out
A book of lies with no replies
This diatribe's your victory, no doubt
You knew the cruelest things to say, then ran away
Filled with spite and jaundiced, like Judas thereupon kissed

Just a mindless weapon pointed at an enemy
A simple tool providing someone else with victory
Now that you crossed my battle line, it's time
That I blow your little mind

Farewell, my friend
I really must give you the credit, you achieved a goal
Perhaps the first time in your life you felt control
I'll never trust the same, I'll see friendship as just another game
Full of winners and losers, selfish abusers
You failed to fly, but somehow I’m to blame?

If it's war that you want, then you got it
If it's pain, well, I brought what you need
If it's true what you say, you're the best, then let's play
You won't believe it until you see it
When I kick your ass and look you in the eye
With a smile and a cheerful heart, I'll turn to you and wave
Goodbye
