"War Crimes" lyrics

"War Crimes"

Behind my forehead's an assortment
Of things I'd like to forget
(In my paradise)
I wear a smile that's about a mile wide
I'd like to sport it
(In my paradise)

It's my fault I miss my friends, I'm lonely every day
'Cause they all stayed in Texas when I moved away
I'm learning bands I loved don't want the best for me
Scared they're falling off and take it out on me

So I'll call Jawn and Zakk and Travis
Let's go do some bad shit (What the fuck are you talking about?)
Do we even do bad shit? (In my paradise)
I'm scared my songs will turn to static
Your knight in shining plastic
(In my paradise)

Now I'm turning off my headlights
Think I'd rather stay blind
I'm forgetting how to hate myself
I saved my own life

In my paradise
In my paradise
In my paradise
In my paradise, 'dise, 'dise, d'-d'-d'

I play along
I love it all, love it all
Give back my halo you stole
It's silver and cold
Give back my breath that you hold
I wanna go home
I love it all
Just like I told you so

God's favorite fucking boy band
Pray to be important
In my paradise
My death will be the fandom
Just keep your fucking hands up
Tell me I look handsome
So get your coke off my bus
Yeah, keep that shit to yourself
And keep yourself far away
Maybe stop hitting my cell
You know you could've been a classic
But now you'll never have shit
In my paradise

I play alone
I love it all (Love it all)
Give back my halo you stole
It's silver and cold
Give back my breath that you hold
I wanna go home
I love it all
Just like I told you so
Just like I told you so
Just like I told you so
