"Brinksmanship"

"Brinksmanship" or: "Love & War."

________________________________

We've been pushed to the brink,
but it's only the beginning.
I've tried so hard not to think about it.
I tried so hard that it hurt!

We've got a struggle, yeah, and it's endless,
but I'm relentless to enter it.
Because life is colorless
Without a fight

This is love
And this is war.
I can't face it together,
anymore.

Burn the sea
and drown the air.
Just tell me you'll be there.

These patterns
of chaos
are chasing me.

You can't convince me
that they're meaningless.

Show me chance, and I'll show you reasons
I'm reasonably sure that I'll chance your seasons
If you're unsure? I am certainty!

This is love, and this is war.
I can't chase you away, anymore
Burn the sea and drown the air:

Just tell me you'll be there

Who said it would be free?

It's right. It's good. It's enough
to live. To die. To fight for our lives!
To play. To begin. Who said that we
would win?

I did.

Weren't you just listening?

This is love and this is war!
I can't chase it together, anymore.
Burn the sea and drown the air.

Just tell me you'll be there.
