Taken from our land
And taken to no-man.
Starvation and desperation
Is what's building my nation

Blood and death
Roams hand in hand with theft
Thrown in here to die
With the memories of goodbyes.

Hanging of our enemies
Only to realize.. this is infinity.
Men crossing the dead line
As their form of suicide

Maybe we all lied
When we left, promising to come back
But now it is life that we lack.
Good-bye my family.

I'll see you again, maybe someday.
Love is found
In the smallest of towns.

Just me and you.
The taste of honeydew.

Plump lips and bare hips.

And at the edge of the night,
I'm not afraid to fight
The broken see the world loveless and shattered
They search for their painter, someone to fix parts that are tattered.

But some people forget one thing:
Not everyone wants to be fixed.
Black roses with a white sun
White knuckles, holding onto the gun

Ready to die, but wanting to live
How much more can I give up?

Sounds of bombs exploding
But I'm the only one who can hear it.

Am I dead?
No, it's only in my head.
A shared dream
A silent scream

This is the New Day.

Open my eyes to a new day
But everything is the same.

The sky is still grey.
And no one knows my name
"Happy Father's Day."
They all say.

Celebrate your fathers, and step-fathers.
But what if you don't have one?
What do we do then? There is no one.

Then what if you have a wretched one?
People tell you that they are your only father.
They tell you that if you don't show them compassion,
You're going to burn to ash.

Not everyone has their "first hero"
Because some people are without a hero.
You say that you can't take it anymore
The teardrops hit the floor

Drowning in the sea
But you're never going to be free

Your thoughts are only screams

There's nothing to say
Except "I'm okay."

Blood pouring like rain
Yet there's no pain
