lyrics

Stalemate
I'm waiting here
In the trenches I've dug out of heartache and fear
Don't know when
This war will end
But I do know it's been raging on for far too long now

And you don't wanna think about it
And you don't wanna talk about it
But this could be the end tonight
If we consolidate our space and time
I'll come to you with my white flag up
And all I need is a little touch
To make up for the casualties dealt onto both sides

Chorus:
The borderlands between you and me
The most dangerous space to be caught in between
The borderlands between your fate and mine
The only way to end this war is if I break on behind your lines
Borderlands, borderlands x2

You've got words
They drop like bombs
Oh, but I've got silence that spreads through the air like mustard gas
Will our peace
Ever be found
Even if we signed our names in blood, would the feeling stick around?

And you don't like to think about it
And I don't like to talk about it
But this could be the end tonight
If we consolidate our space and time
Come to me with your white flag up
And I'll give you the little death you've been aching for

Chorus

Is this war won?
Or just begun?
I don't know

Chorus
