You play naïve but still we do not know a thing
You tricked us all for minutes, for hours, for days, for weeks
Is it just one thing or multiple that I said?
We'll just stop the fight because
We will never understand

Peace is hard to reach you bleach my mind with words or love
He can take a war or two or three if you want him to
But I'm the one who breaks down
In minutes in hours in days
Hopefully we will reach the island before dawn
Island before dawn
Is it just one thing or multiple that I said?
We'll just stop the fight because
We will never understand
You will never understand
Hopefully we will reach the island
Hopefully we will reach the island
Hopefully we will reach the island before dawn
Island before dawn
