War Paint

The longer I’m awake
The more frustrated I get
Don’t know why I’m losing sleep
To fight off demons in my bed
I’ve never known slumber
rest
I’m waiting for the words
That will never be said
Throw your banner down
There’s no battle to be fought
Wash your war paint off
Throw your banner down
I won’t kill to make you proud of me
Can’t wash those blood stains off
You’re held captive by conviction
Cause it
Want to save you from your shackles
set you free
You’re held captive by conviction
Cause it
Want to save you from your shackles
set you free
No rose is worth the thorns
And you start to lose more blood
No kingdom’s the crown
everyone
Throw your banner down
There’s no battle to be fought
Wash your war paint off
Throw your banner down
I won’t kill to make you proud of me
Can’t wash those blood stains off
As the
To be still if only for the moment
The current
Once calm, now stirred
Once calm, now stirred
Every kingdom can’t stop the torment
You’ve caused so much pain
The heat of the moment
Rejected
Life doesn’t have to be littered with
Throw your banner down
There’s no battle to be fought
Wash your war paint off
Throw your banner down
I won’t kill to make you proud of me
Can’t wash those blood stains off
