He crouches in the drench
Waiting for his enemy to walk by
He stays still despite the stench
He sees his enemy out of the corner of his eye
He stays still
As the enemy gets near
It's unfortunate that he must ****
But he does it so his countrymen can live with no fear
This time he managed to escape with his life
So that he may make it back home to his wife
Next time he might not make it
But his name we will never forget
After months away
He manages to rest for a day
He's the unknown soldier
He gives it all for the flag
When he can no longer make it to be any older
We bury him a soldier, a hero fighting for the flag
That now rests on his casket
I'll send a dozen roses in a basket
I can never forget the soldier who laid his life on the line
So that I could live mine.

Memories of you haunt me
Visions of us together taunt me
Too bad it wasn't meant to be
You knew that all along so why
Didn't you just tell me?
Did you enjoy living the lie?

Inhale lies
Exhale pain
With bloodshot eyes
I scream your name

I cried
I couldn't breathe
I almost died
You wouldn't believe
The pain I felt because of you
When you said that we were through.

You were my drug injected under my skin
Everyday I fight to retain sanity
But I just can't win
Because my next fix will never be.
When we see each other you act like you don't know my name
Yet your memories still fill me with so much shame.

Inhale lies
Exhale pain
With bloodshot eyes
I scream your name.

Now no matter what you say
My pain will never go away
Throughout the years
I shed so many tears
I used to be love drunk
But now I'm sober because it's all over.

I inhaled your lies
And exhaled pain
My eyes are no longer bloodshot
Because now it's my name you can't forget.

Somebody save me
My future is fading into black
Once i pull the trigger there will be no turning back
Why must this be?

What's this vision of beauty I see
Past all my pain
Will she lend me an ear
Or have me cry out in vain?

I've been hurt so much before
That I can't help but say no more
Her glance ends all hostility
And I realize she's the girl for me

I was at the end of my rope
But now I have a new hope
For her beauty is my salvation
If not for her I'd face eternal damnation.

Why did you have to rip our child from the womb ?
Why did you have to send him to his eternal tomb?
Why couldn't you let me be a happy father?
You say you have an explanation but don't even bother.

Would having our child having their first breath really be a crime?
Why do you look at it as stopping it just in time?
No matter how you look at it you took a life
Doesn't matter if it was by scalpel or knife.

You ended a gift from God
You act like it doesn't bother you
But I know that's a facade
Because that could never be true.

Now I pick up my pen
So that you can see the beauty within
For a child is a beautiful gift
If you take it away you create a permanent rift.

Some say it is a choice
But I say we need to hear their unspoken voice
Let them live
For we do not know if your sin God can forgive.

I feel you pulsing through my veins
This feeling will never be  gone
Because the feeling will always remain
I have a feeling that you are the one

If I brushed your hair aside
And our lips met
Would you try and hide
Or make this a moment we never forget.

I wake to visions of you
You're always on my mind
This I know to be true
I'm feeling this for the first time.

This time I can't hide how I feel
Because it's the sweetest thing I know is real.
When I think of you I can't help but smile
No matter what if I'm with you I'm having fun all the while.

I waited so long for you to say
Those three words to me
But at the end of the day
It was never meant to be.

So now I'm broken
These tears are soaking
Through
Thanks to you.

I told you so many times
That I wanted you
But you told me a thousand times
That I didn't want you.

I gave you my all
But in the end everyone
Has to have a great fall
When they can no longer see the sun.

So now I'm broken
These tears are soaking
Through
Thanks to you.

I sit here with a heart full of stone
And a chill resonates in my bones
All because
Our love never was.

I love you
The three hardest words for him to say
He wanted them to be said
Because they're true
He thought about them every day
Replayed them over and over in his head

He wonders if she feels the same
He asked himself time and time again
Does she know my name?
Not knowing got under his skin.

To compare this to chess would be obscene,
For while I am a lowly pawn she is a radiant queen
He can't bear to know if he got down on a knee
Would she say yes and say that she loves me?

As he brushes the hair from her face
He manages to smile past his former disgrace.
