In the light, we smile and play,
Nightly I toss and turn,
Some may say "Just count the sheep",
Ominous fiends dance within my mind,
My thoughts raced at the speed of light
Nothing will lull me now,
In the dark, I stay awake,
As though it were the day.

Blinding us all from reality,
Enchanting the ones who see,
Attraction is a dangerous game,
Unhindered by reality,
Tantalizing the mind,
You'll never break free.

The eternal fabric of time,
Stained a crimson red,
Woven from silk so fine,
For what the blood was shed,

Who's wrong or right?
It never mattered,
For in both party's sight,
innocence can be crafted,

To hate another man,
Was just a part of the job,
We shoot because we can,
as long as the bodies drop,

A flag and dog tags delivered to the door,
This is just a result of those who go to war.

We lay in bed all through the night,
Though, my mind will not rest,
I like to think that all is right,
I'm not sure if I've done my best,

You say you're fine, I know otherwise,
I have a feeling I cannot shake,
I know that look, sorrow within eyes,
Whispers while you sleep, keep me awake,

We've been together for a while,
I fear you may be keeping things from me,
Perhaps we've outrun this mile,
You've grown tired of thinking about what we should be,

I see the way you smile with her, I fear this is the end,
You keep me holding on when you say she's just a friend.
