What are we fighting for?
What am I trying to restore by taking aim at you?
It's not that I need the best
I want you to see I long to be successfully repressed

I don't know why we fall

What are we fighting for?
Why do I always ask for more than this day can
Provide?
When did I lose your trust?
Why do I need to justify this dirty little war?

I don't know why we fall

There was a time when I believed in providence
Where is that confidence now?
I see the world sideways and I'm falling off again
Into our merry-go-round

What am I waiting for?
Isn't this where we fade to black as you walk out the door?
If I'm so damn sure
What are these tears I try to cheerfully ignore?

There was a time when I believed in providence
Where is that confidence now?
I see the world sideways and I'm falling off again
Into our merry-go-round
There was a time when I thought our salvation lied
In the night's intimate heat
My anger's contagious, my wishes outrageous
But dreams are my only relief

I'm revolving
Gravity keeps calling, falling
Into our merry-go-round
Into our merry-go-round
Into our merry-go

What are we fighting for?
What are we fighting for?
What are we fighting for?

When all the anger's gone
Who's lost and who has won?
And dare we ask ourselves
Why are we fighting?

When all the anger's gone
Who's lost and who has won?
And dare we ask ourselves
Why are we fighting?
