about

“Love Is War” is an alt-rock song about the many twisted sides of love. It is part of a collection of dark songs written during the corona quarantine. BE SURE TO CHECK OUT 2:10. The song takes a drastic turn.

lyrics

Can’t close my eyes, afraid of what I might see
Demons inside, they always follow me
And I’m too slow
Alone in the dark, someone come bother me
Pick up the phone, dial all the numbers I see
But it’s too late

If this is love, what is war?
Don’t you know you’re the one I adore?
If this is love, what is war?
Resent me somehow

Crawled down the hall, with bruises all on my knees
Think about the fall, I’d like to go back, please
But time won’t lie
Lately I’m cold, but outside it’s a hundred and three
I don’t know if it’s you that is killing me
But I can’t go

If this is love, what is war?
Don’t you know you’re the one I adore?
If this is love, what is war?
Resent me somehow
If this is love, what is war?
I want to be the one that you adore
If this is love, what is war?
Reject me somehow

Let me go, let me go!
I need to sleep in the cold, hard snow
And I can watch us from the back window
While you try to drown me in the undertow
So PLEASE!
See, I’ve got this disease
A little obsessed and a little naïve
Fell through the ice from atop your tree
Now I’m screaming Don’t. Let. Me. Freeze!
Let me freeze!
Don’t let me freeze!
Don’t let me blink
If this is love, what’s war?
Don’t let me freeze!
Don’t let me freeze!
Don’t let me bleed out
If this is love, what’s war?

LOVE IS WAR!
LOVE IS WAR!
LOVE IS WAR!
LOVE IS WAR!
