Hear the noise on the screen, waking from some subtitled dream.
And we can't turn it over, we can't turn.
Reading through the constant beat, monotone and stuck on repeat.
Now we can't turn it over, we can't turn.
Is this how we win the war, arm the weapons never used before.
Don't feel, that this is real, don't feel, that we can wait forever.
Remote thoughts held in clouds, translations lost in the crowds.
And we can't turn it over, we can't turn.
Follow me I'll follow you, there's not much more we can do.
And we can't turn it over, we can't turn.
Is this how the war was won, words replace the bullet in the gun.
And don't feel, that this is real, don't feel, that we can wait forever.
Everyday views returned, your network church in which you’re confirmed.
And we can't turn it over, we can't turn.
So we sit, day by day, face to face yet so far away.
And we can't turn it over, we can't turn.
Is this how the war will end, disconnected lists of unknown friends.
Don't feel, like this is real, don't feel, that we can wait forever.
