Lyrics

[00:00.00] There's a humming in the restless summer air
[00:03.05] And we're slipping off the course that we prepared
[00:06.26] But in all chaos there is calculation
[00:09.86] Dropping glasses just to hear them break
[00:12.57]
[00:12.98] You've been drinking
[00:13.81] Like the world was gonna end (it didn't)
[00:16.38] Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)
[00:20.01] It's clear that someone's gotta go
[00:23.31] We mean it but I promise we're not mean
[00:26.00]
[01:23.11][00:26.50] And the cry goes out
[01:28.36][00:31.73] They lose their minds for us and how it plays out
[01:33.48][00:36.37] Now we're in the ring
[01:34.65][00:38.00] And we're coming for blood
[00:40.00]
[03:01.69][01:38.44][00:41.63] You could try and take us but we're the gladiators
[03:08.38][01:45.01][00:48.32] Everyone a rager but secretly they're saviours
[03:13.78][01:50.43][00:54.07] Glory and gore go hand in hand
[03:18.22][01:54.87][00:58.36] That's why we're making headlines
[03:21.59][01:58.24][01:01.80] You could try and take us but victory's contagious
[01:06.86]
[01:10.29] Delicate in every way but one (the swordplay)
[01:13.42] God knows we like archaic kinds of fun (the old ways)
[01:16.80] Chance is the only game I play with, baby
[01:20.62] We let our battles choose us
[02:59.44][02:04.30][01:36.78][01:22.67]
[02:07.27] No-one round here's good at keeping their eyes closed
[02:13.46] The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
[02:20.27] Tired little laughs, gold-lie promises
[02:23.70] We'll always win at this
[02:25.13] I don't ever think about death
[02:28.19] It's alright if you do, it's fine
[02:33.94] We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves
[02:40.07] Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the killtime comes
[02:47.00] Wide awake in bed, words in my brain
[02:50.06] Secretly you love this do you even wanna go free?
[02:55.11] Let me in the ring I'll show you what that big word means
[03:26.90]
