alright I'm not EVEN gonna go into all this but uh

War is arguably Project Overdoze's best song even if it's confusing as FUCK

And it's unbelievably similar to Essa's whole mess that goes down in Parallels

I don't wanna explain why and how because a) spoilers and b) it's long and complicated but uhhh it kind of scared me how similar it is

Anyway

I didn't do the background btw, it's just a frame from the PV because it fit really well and I'm lazy af

Give me a second

I need to breathe

Why is this happening to me

I didn't mean it

I closed my mind

I broke the rules, and I broke time...

I just wanted

Wanted to know more

They told me to stay the hell away

That those two tattlers were insane...

But I wanted

Just had to know more

Oh I needed to know

And now I'm drowning oh so slow...

Whoa, whoa

I never wanted for this to be my end

All the things I fucking studied

All the years she played pretend

Whoa, whoa

I never wanted to be covered in her dirt

Far from mother's holy light

Far from what was wrong or right

But I shoveled and I dug

And I chanted as they rose:

Build an army

Prep for war

Cause these gray skies are a bore

I might do a chapter in my story rambling book that explains what lyrics parallel Essa's story, but I dunno

*coughs* War is an alarmingly good song and Parallels is going well and they're both confusing as hell and I love it
