LYRICS:
We all hide behind a mask
A product of our own self destructive past
We all ache for something deeper than the surface
Searching for anything to break the name "worthless"
If only we could see the damage we cause ourselves
It often seems our best intentions pave the road to hell
We do it to ourselves
It's got me overwhelmed
I've never fallen this far
It's never been this dark
Take me back to better days
Before I was a slave to the choices that I have made
There's gotta be a better way
This can't stay
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away
I just can't make another day
Don't let me fade away
I've been torn down to nothing
We all want to be set free
Enslaved to emotions or someone
We're ripping at the seams
Can't seem to stop the bleeding
Too blind to see the cycle repeats
Feels like I'm made to fail
You pick the coffin and I'll drive the nail
We all hide behind a mask
We all want to be set free
If you can hear this
If you can feel this
Don't let me fade away
If you can hear this
If you can feel this
Don't let me fade away
Give me a sign
Tell me everything will be alright
Give me a sign
These idle hands
Adept for a crime

exactly my thoughts

[@sleepykupo9990]

Puts Sam Carter to shame

[@grantthiel]

Wage War will never release a song that isn't fucking incredible. I'm calling it now.

[@jasonbracewell6279]

Grant Thiel I agree. They hit it hard as hell with stitch and then this song is melodic and hard the breakdowns are amazing

[@hamcity3112]

Grant Thiel I didnt know john cooper liked metalcore? sick

[@leooliveira9917]

I ttotally agree with you

[@Pagnah]

Haven't they released like ONE album? LOl.

[@grantthiel]

Pagnah One album that is one of my all-time favorites and two songs that reassure me that their next album will be incredible as well

[@mylife1221]

i dont understand how people hate cleans in metalcore. the second half of that chorus does something to me

[@fbtdcfbygb1385]

Yeah it releases a lot of endorphins I think because I cry ALOT after I seize too and more comfy

[@jimmyanderson9728]

Jeremy McKinnon did an amazing job on the production.

[@ronanator789]

Jack I swear everytime I fall in love witha band, adtr is somehow connected to them. First secrets with Tom denney being there producer, now wage war with Jeremy??? No wonder adtr's my all time fav

[@benwaldock458]

hellooomotto ADTR is the reason Wage War is blowing up. They're both from Ocala lol

[@mike-oxhard]

This thread is two years old, but I've gotta Adam D from Killswitch to this list.

[@randystasi]

Jeremy knows a few melodies. 😉

[@matheuss_gtr]

@@mike-oxhard exactly, Horizons by Parkway Drive and The Powerless Rise by As I Lay Dying were produced by him!

[@hansolzy]

Wow a modern pure metalcore band that's actually expanding and improving their sound.. their leads got better. I'm actually impressed.

Nick Simmons nope

Nick Simmons I was just going to comment the same thing. Wage War will always kick ass

[@joshinator609]

not possible. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@tylerowen8179]

it's like also saying Caleb shomo is unable to write something catchy.....imagine beartooth and Wage War doing a full band collab like in hearts wake and Northlane did......jizz everywhere

[@MrSpartanman300]

No words can describe how epic and perfect this song is...the same will be said for the entire album!

[@Wadeforce]

love ur vids man! like i always say, best quality on YT!

[@MrSpartanman300]

Thanks so much, I appreciate it!! I haven't been able to make it out to many concerts lately as I moved out to California for work, and there hasn't been too many concerts out this way. Though, I plan on seeing A7X + ADTR and going to Warped Tour end of July/early August :D

[@jacobkobelski6152]

ConcertsLive hope you went to warped yesterday!!! Some extremely rememberable bands!!!!

[@MrSpartanman300]

Jacob Kobelski I was at Warped for the Mountain View date this past Friday - it was awesome!! I have a bunch of vids up on my page from it 😄 Hope you had a fun time if you made it out to one of the dates 🤘🏼

[@lucasflorentino2849]

This year definitely is return for metalcore bands.

[@justinhardage]

LukeDm kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWbHY3-rgJecqKM

[@chad2565]

LukeDm I think As I Lay Dying was the best band to return I cant wait for some new stuff and All That Remains went back to their old stuff

[@heavymetalmoo1814]

Mad props for ADTR helping these guys out when they did. Wage War destroys. Love the new stuff!!!

[@loganward7800]

Heavy Metal Moo honestly wage war has surpassed a day to remember. By far my favorite band

[@Fernawndough]

Logan Ward, maybe personally to you but in the grand scheme of it all Wage War still has to build the credibility that ADTR has but aye if Wage War keeps on this path they surely could pass ADTR

[@NightElveee]

i like the term you used "credibility" i think you meant one hit albums or tracks kind of bands.....?

[@jasonbracewell6279]

Fernando Morales Wage war imo is way better than adtr

[@jordanhaight1163]

Jason Victor at the moment Yeah I agree but not when adtr was in their prime.

[@rushbrando]

so hyped for this new album

[@ColdSteelRain17]

mind letting me know what the new album is called? or maybe when it's release is scheduled? last I heard Blueprints was the newest shit i knew about

It's already been 48 mins, come on dude you're slacking.

[@dizzasterartist]

This is one of the catchiest Wage War songs ever.

[@joshuaedwards9830]

"Take me back to better days, before I was a slave to the choices that I have made."

[@magnum32b]

Most bands-" you should have 30 seconds of typical build up before you-" Wage War-"RIFF OFF JUMP. GOT IT." I think I like this band 😁

[@dankburrito4219]

magnum32b Will we ever see bands start off a song with a breakdown? Wage War- "hold my beer"

[@276SportsCards]

Out of every Wage War song I've heard in my opinion this one has the best cleans :)

[@howardsharpe2104]

The guitarist's voice are criminally underrated

[@RealDyl75]

Wage War on tour with Fit For a King and Beartooth would be the single greatest lineup ever.

[@ashleeupdike4894]

Dylan Harrison yessss

[@ashtrash8347]

amen to that

[@implodingnerd]

and Architects and Polaris

[@chadsessions5773]

Fit for a King and I Prevail

[@charlesedwardcheese203]

I'm thinking more along the lines of ADTR, Wage War, and The Plot In You but you do you, homie.

[@mike0near]

that chorus is so catchy

[@dwarevids]

When he said "we all hide behind a mask, and we want to be set free" I felt that - 2021 covid-19 survivor

Every time I hear it bro.

[@monsterbree]

The most beautiful part of the song.

[@Hostilehippie13]

[@thedailyp00per]

New wage war AND In hearts Wake?! Fuck I can't waiitttt

[@austinhatz]

These lyrics speak volumes to me. I can't even explain it.

[@OutgrownThings]

Quite literally one of the best metalcore songs I've ever heard.

[@jessedeleon7906]

it's never too late to change "you are not what you've done and this not who you are no matter how far you've run. you have not gone too far!" - ForToday for the fallen. this is your sign Briton bond

[@eatpancakes4486]

Wage War is so fucking good. Craziest concerts I've been to. Gonna see them again with Oceans Ate Alaska. It's gonna be insane

[@stalker2093]

finally clean vocals back again

[@Swordscope3]

Wage War remind me of a cross between Phinehas and Memphis May Fire, combining the best parts of both. Loving this new album so far!

[@patwaters68]

Just learned my wifes, daughters, boyfriend us good friends with Phinehas bass player. I never heard of them before. Really good.

[@user-fd7bf3uh4d]

By far WW's best song yet. GG gentleman

Samuel Sarris Idk...Youngbloods, The River and Stitch are all really good

[@user-fd7bf3uh4d]

[@bryanlenihan5012]

Samuel Sarris I like stitch better but to each their own

[@loganstegall9113]

The River is my favorite. 4 breakdowns and a blegh. Couldn't get better. Maybe a pig squeal.

I Don't think these guys understand how GOOD THEY AREE DAMNNNN

[@brado.7319]

That pre chorus doeeeee. So good.

[@TheAlonMower]

I purposefully listened to the new fall out boy track before this one because I knew fob would disappoint me. That being said, Wage War continues to slay

[@AcaciaTreeTV]

I love how wage war is staying true to the 2010s metal core.

[@xDustinLeeFxx]

One of the best bands on Fearless.

[@raphaelangelomedina581]

[@OoglyMartian]

The visuals of this and the vibrancy of the song go SO WELL! Been listening to a few songs just now and I think I’m falling down a hole

[@drashproductions7337]

I don't think I've ever heard a drummer so on point before. He is the anchor of everything. It's like perfect pitch manifested as perfect metronome.

[@TylerG60]

I've never been so pumped for an album. These first two singles have been great, can't wait to hear the entire album.

De las mejores canciones de Wage War , después Stitch. me encanta esta banda :D

[@Brousey]

Britons vocal arsenal is unreal, from the sickest growls to the dirtiest blehs, unreal highs to even sounding like Randy Blythe at 1:32 "We all want to be set free" These guys are fucking incredible!! And what a sick chorus!!!! Who would've thought..... aside from Wage War obviously

I went to the same tour, I was like "who are these guys, guess I'll come early to check them out" and I was very impressed.

[@SinkiaSarrow]

Isaac Hubbard Have you heard their really old stuff from when they were called Empires? You can still find it on KZbin if you search for it. My favorite was their track called Maelstrom.

Dude yes. I have the whole album downloaded. Really wish they'd sell it

[@eduardog8782]

Isaac Hubbard what if I told you guys I got a copy of that EP. I talked to them about it on Warped Tour and we kept in touch. eventually they found a spare and sent it my way.

”We all hide behind a mask“ gets a whole new meaning in times of corona..

[@cal2710]

I was going to say the same thing. Unfortunately though it doesn't appear that most people "want to be set free", contrary to what the song suggests..

[@BackwardsDuckie]

The guitar sounds like Hate Creation by Whitechapel at the beginning but that's not a bad thing! August 4th can't come soon enough!!
