Verbal Suicide

We fight forever, all through the night

We stay together just to prove who’s right and who’s wrong, not like it matters

We go to war over interference

What we fight for makes no difference anymore, so long as we can

Beat down each other with words we don’t mean

Go for the jugular while making a scene – it’s not right, war isn’t on our side

We cut down each other most feverishly

We fall short of murder only technically – when we fight, it’s verbal suicide

You’d think we’d learn, we’re making a mess

You’d think when we’re wrong, we would confess, but we don’t, that’d be too easy

Instead we dig in and prepare to die

You’d think we’d give up our battle cry, but we won’t, we continue

To beat down each other with words we don’t mean

Go for the jugular while making a scene – it’s not right, war isn’t on our side

We hurt each other more than anyone else

Don’t we realize we’re only hurting ourselves – when we fight, it’s verbal suicide

We used to care, we used to love

Now we just beat each other up

We used to dream, we used to live

Now we just refuse to forgive

And we beat down each other with words we don’t mean

Go for the jugular while making a scene – it’s not right, war isn’t on our side

Until death do us part, this is what we get

I’m surprised we haven’t killed each other yet – when we fight, it’s verbal suicide

When we fight, it’s verbal suicide
