I’m focused, I’m not fragile, yeah, the bombs are on their way
And I’m too young to be finished, doesn’t matter what they say
‘Cause every man’s ambition is another man’s decay
I promise you
Something better, something sacred, something borrowed, something true
If I can reach tomorrow, I won’t take my eyes off you
And the better half of this photograph is all I have to hold on to
Is this a holy war?
Is this an institution?
Is this the only thing we know?
Might be a renaissance
Could be a revolution
Is this the only thing we know?
I can’t stop this, but I should
If I could miss you more, I would
But instead of you, I’m holding a machine gun
Instead of you, I’m holding a machine gun
Machine gun
They come with drones, they come with knives, they come with mace
But I just need your calm, your soft, your confidence and grace
To get me through this darkness while the world is laid to waste
But I’ll survive and stay alive ‘cause no one dies today
Is this a holy war?
Is this an institution?
Is this the only thing we know?
Might be a renaissance
But this ain’t a revolution
This is the only thing we know
I can’t stop this, but I should
If I could miss you more, I would
But instead of you, I’m holding a machine gun
Instead of you, I’m holding a machine gun
I will not let you go
I just can’t let you go
I can’t stop this, but I should
If I could miss you more, I would
But instead of you, I’m holding a machine gun
Instead of you, I’m holding a machine gun
Instead of you, I’m holding a machine gun
Instead of you, I’m holding a machine gun
