What Are we Fighting for

Song Lyrics

By Jaded | Pleasured (Ay! Eye Muse, Productions. Tired/Toxi)Published 3 months ago 2 min read

[Verse 1]

I remember how great things started off,

How we met on a site,

And hit things off over a laugh,

Watched as we started this adventure with light,

But now I feel like the daylight is burning away,

And we're not getting very far

Too many things came up in the past

And the feelings that were hurt are still festering,

I feel like I'm screaming at the void for no reason

None at all,

[Chorus]

What the fuck are we fighting for anymore?

Can you explain where the hell the drive went?

Cause, baby, I'm fucking lost,

(Baby, I'm fucking lost)

Time keeps slipping away

And I can't grasp, at the threads anymore

Not when my hands are so slick with effort

(Baby, I'm fucking lost)

And slipping away

[Verse 2]

What's most upsetting to me is,

You flipped the script,

Going from attentive and noticing my pain,

To block it out of your way completely,

Don't you understand yet?

You are showing me the same shit others gave me,

A house of cards 'bout to fall over

With one gust of wind,

You're the thing making the foundation unstable again-

[Chorus]

What the fuck are we fighting for anymore?

Can you explain where the hell the drive went?

Cause, baby, I'm fucking lost,

(Baby, I'm fucking lost)

Time keeps slipping away

And I can't grasp, at the threads anymore

Not when my hands are so slick with effort

(Baby, I'm fucking lost)

And slipping away

[Bridge]

How much wider do you want this canyon to be

Before you start building that bridge back to me?

Do you think you have the supplies?

Or did you forget that you left them over here with me?

Do you think I should put forth more effort than what I have?

Is my fighting myself not enough anymore?

Did you get tired?

Have you given up?

I NEED TO FUCKING KNOW!-

[Final Chorus]

What the fuck are we fighting for anymore?

Can you explain where the hell the drive went?

Cause, baby, I'm fucking lost,

(Baby, I'm fucking lost)

Time keeps slipping away

And I can't grasp, at the threads anymore

Not when my hands are so slick with effort

(Baby, I'm fucking lost)

And slipping away

(So far away)

Can you even see me?
