Contention Lyrics


Look, if on the surface he seems calm

It doesn't mean there won't be a storm

And we won't have a choice but surrender

To their strange deceptive game

You tell me it's the only way

To end the feud behind the veil

Of our intergalactic dissension

Which started centuries ago

I don't think the moment's right

For you to try as I have tried

Oh tell me why we can't just let it all go

How do I defend him if you still stand your ground

And it may keep us safe, but not for long

The victory is claimed now, you've made your choice tonight

Go until you see the perfect star

But who I am to sing that line

Cause it was like july twenty eighteen

And we did not even exist

It doesn't matter if you win

The deepest answer lies within

A simple try to have some conversation

About the life we all could have had

I don't think the moment's right

For you to try as I have tried

Oh tell me why we can't just let it all go

How do I defend him if you still stand your ground

And it may keep us safe, but not for long

The victory is claimed now, you've made your choice tonight

Oh tell me why we can't just let it all go

How do I defend him if you still stand your ground

And it may keep us safe, but not for long

The victory is claimed now, you've made your choice tonight
