[Verse 1] Another night Same cracked green room Her Makeup in a plastic cup Setlist taped to the broom I hear them in the hallway Brag about the crowd they drew Their laughter cuts sideways I pull my jacket through [Verse 2] [Both] I’ve been here Since smoke-stained ceilings Bottle caps and busted mics That’s how I learned my feelings Kids come in with shiny shoes Chasing every view I tune this old guitar and smile But it still aches me too [Chorus] [Both] We’re singin’ on a minefield Welcome to the show Every note a bullet Every glance a blow Counting scars in soundchecks Me against you But these strings These throats Know the same Battlefield Blues Yeah these hearts Beat in time To the same Battlefield Blues [Verse 3] [Male] Scroll past their faces Numbers lined in red Try to pray I’m grateful But envy hums inside my head I hate that I compare us Like we’re trophies to abuse When all I ever wanted Was to bleed the honest truth [Verse 4] [Male] I’ve watched bright comets Burn out overnight Heard ‘em swear they’d save the world Then vanish from the light The mirror shows a road map Of every dive I’ve been through Still I’m scared some tender kid Might out-sing what I can’t undo [Chorus] [Both] We’re singin’ on a minefield Welcome to the show Every note a bullet Every glance a blow Counting scars in soundchecks Me against you But these strings These throats Know the same Battlefield Blues Yeah these hearts Beat in time To the same Battlefield Blues [Bridge] [Female] What if we’re not rivals? (mm) [Male] What if the stage is wide? [Female] What if your crooked story [Male] Holds up my fragile pride? [Both] What if every cracked voice Is one more proof That breaking in the spotlight Might be the closest thing to truth [Chorus] [Both] We’re singin’ on a minefield But I’ll stand by you Let ‘em shoot their stares at us We’ll just sing straight through Lay our fears in feedback Let ‘em bruise and bloom ’Cause your pain And mine Share the same Battlefield Blues Yeah your name And mine Ride the same Battlefield Blues (ohh) On this torn Tired stage We’re the same Battlefield Blues
