There's a humming in the restless summer air
|
And we're slipping off the course that we prepared
|
But in all chaos, there is calculation
|
Drop them glasses just to hear them break
|
You've been drinking like the world was gonna end (it's end)
|
Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)
|
It's clear that someone's gotta go
|
We mean it, but I promise we're not mean
|
|
And the quiet goes out
|
They lose their minds for us
|
And how it plays out
|
Now we're in the ring
|
And we're coming for blood
|
|
You can try and take us
|
But we're the gladiators
|
Everyone a ranger
|
But secretly they're saviors
|
Glory and gore go hand and hand
|
That's why we're making headlines
|
You can try and take us
|
But victory's contagious
|
|
Delicate in every way but one (the swordplay)
|
God know's we like arcade kinds of fun (the old way)
|
Chance is the only game I played with, baby
|
We let our battle choose us
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
No one 'round here's good at keeping their eyes closed
|
The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
|
Tired little laughs, gold life promises, we'll always win at this
|
I don't ever thing about death
|
It's all right if you do, it's fine
|
|
We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves
|
Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes
|
Wide awake in bed, words in my brain, secretly a love fish
|
Do you even wanna go free?
|
Let me in the ring, I'll show you what that big word means
|
