Lyrics to Mars, The God Of War
Mars, the god of war
Is watching over me so passively
From the twinkling scenery
Mars, the god of war
Pretending so serene; he’s keeping his hands clean
While I make war on this war machine

A careful chosen word, designed to hurt
But will it stir some new philosophy?
Retreat or be defeated baby

I wish that I could wish you well
I wish that I could wish you well
Instead I’m hitting my head
And hitting backspace on
“Can’t you just go to hell?”

All of your recall requires optometry
‘Cause what I want to see
Is you seeing clearly
Tenures of regret and my good memory
Spent under tyranny
It ends tonight in quiet steam

Be careful where you reach for sympathy
‘Cause it won’t be where you got it before
Retreat, rinse and repeat it, baby

I wish that I could wish you well
I wish that I could wish you well
Instead I’m hitting my head
And hitting backspace on
“Can’t you just go to hell?”

Position changing, never engaging
It’s not just the dawn that’s breaking
(It’s not just the dawn that’s breaking)
And I’ll keep hating the red star fading
And it’s not just the dawn that’s breaking
It’s not just the dawn that breaks

I wish that I could wish you well
I wish that I could wish you well
Instead I’m hitting my head
And hitting backspace on
“Can’t you just go to hell?”

I wish that I could wish you well
I wish that I could wish you well
Instead I’m hitting my head
And hitting backspace on
“Can’t you just go to hell?”
