Hmmmmmmmm (hmmmmmm) Hmmmm, oh no no no no (no no no) No.... no. Lay down lay down those weapons Lay down lay down the hatred It makes no more sense (no more sense) Why do we hate like this? Hmmmm.... why do we hate like this? (Why oh why do we hate?) Hmmmm, oh I think we got it wrong Hmmmm, oh I think we were mistaken (no!) Why do we hate? (Why do we hate?) Hmmm, why do we betray? (no no no) Why oh why oh why can’t we get along When we’re bleeding in the same old song? We’re all crying in a different tongue But the pain feels the same when the night’s this long We’re all just hearts, in broken armor Afraid to love, and to be softer But every day we choose this fire We burn our own home, climbing higher lay down, lay down those weapons lay down, lay down the hatred it makes no more sense (no more sense) we’re tearing apart our own defense lay down, lay down those weapons lay down, lay down the hatred can’t you feel this makes no sense? why do we hate like this? (Why do we hate like this?) Hmmmm, we’ve been drawing all these lines Hmmmm, chasing ghosts inside our minds (oh no) Pointing fingers, naming “them” Like we’re not standing on the same old stem We build walls around our fear Then wonder why no one comes near If we’d just listen through the noise We might hear the trembling in each voice We’re all just children grown up angry Carrying storms our parents handed But we can break this heavy chain Choose some mercy in the rain lay down, lay down those weapons lay down, lay down the hatred it makes no more sense (no more sense) we’re tearing apart our own defense lay down, lay down those weapons lay down, lay down the hatred can’t you feel this makes no sense? why do we hate like this? (Why do we hate like this?) Hmmmm… we all break, we all fall We all bleed when we hit that wall If we’re all dying just to be right Who the hell wins this fight? What if we laid our stories down? You and me, no battleground Just two souls with wounded hands Trying to love what we don’t understand What if we dropped the loaded words? Listened closer till we heard Not an enemy, not a threat Just another heart soaking wet Lay down lay down those weapons Lay down lay down the hatred It makes no more sense (no more sense) we’re tearing apart our own defense lay down, lay down those weapons lay down, lay down the hatred if love's our only real defense why do we hate like this? (Why do we hate like this? Why do we hate like this?) Hmmmm… no more… no more hate…
