lyrics

When I stand, up I get heat stroke
When I speak out, I've got amnesia
No rhyme or reason
No excitement for the season, the newest one
Will go ignored

I feel like I've got heat stroke
I feel like I've got heat stroke
It's a loaded question
Absent from direction
What's the struggle to lift
The blade from its hilt?

I've got heat stroke on the brain
I've got heat stroke on my face
I've got heat stroke, everyone's got heat stroke
Hey hey hey, get out of the way

Get out of the way
Get out of the way
Get out of the way

I'd like to take a trip in my own mind
I would take lots of photographs and bring them with me
Cause you need proof for everything
I would feel better without proof for anything

Get out of my way
Get out of the way

Breathed too hard when your desire is so far away
I almost blacked out because I talked for five minutes too long
Where's the justice in that?
Where's the justice in that?
There's no justice in that

. . .

I am going to go to bed with 'Kid War' playing in my head

I am going to go to bed with 'Kid War' playing in the back of my head

I am going to go to bed with 'Kid War' playing in my head
I am going to go to bed with 'Kid War' playing in my head
I am going to go to bed with 'Kid War' playing in my head

I'm gonna go to bed and the ending of 'Kid War' will be ringing in my head

I am going to go to bed and 'Kid War' will be playing in my head

So get out of my way
