LYRICS
Mars, the god of war, is watching over me
So passively
From the twinkling scenery
Mars, the god of war
Pretending so serene
He’s keeping his hands clean
While I make war on this war machine
A careful chosen word
Designed to hurt
But will it stir some new philosophy?
Retreat or be defeated, baby
I wish that I could wish you well
Instead I’m hitting my head
And hitting backspace on ‘Can’t you just go to hell’
All of your recall requires optometry
‘Cause what I want to see is you seeing clearly
Tenures of regret and my good memory
Spent under tyranny
It ends tonight in quiet steam
Be careful where you reach for sympathy
‘Cause it won’t be where you got it before
Retreat
Rinse and repeat it, baby
Position changing
Never engaging
It’s not just the dawn that’s breaking
And I’ll keep hating the red star fading
It’s not just the dawn that’s breaking
It’s not just the dawn that breaks
