I'm not unafraid
I'm just a boy
At a fragile age
As when you're sad it ruins my day

Yet I still jump naked in the lake
As if off a stage
Whilst humming melic words of unwedded love
You ruined my day

For I could see poisoned thorns above your veins
With heartstrings razed beneath my faded pane
And it was a sight I couldn't shake
I jumped in vain

Although when near I still refrain from conveying
I still need you close so darling stay
For my arms feel weak while they're still brave
Only when you sit next to me
'Cause I'd hold you close if my love you'd claim
Yet we can't thus our stillness remains

Blood marks stained upon the innocent's carpet
A loveless repayment for a loving intention
Black ash and rubble across the apartment
Because of a soldier's salute for an ego's attention
Red clothes cling to the bleeding body's frame
And the unthawing cruelty leaves it stranded in pain

The body's wrapped and taken to waste
For there are thousands more like it
They just copy and paste

As they have nothing to gain
And that drives them insane

Loveless repayments from loving intentions
Because soldiers salute for the egos' attention
And they have so much to gain
Before they're driven insane
