It's a countdown, whats the count now? Do you know? Is it in your head? Is it trapped in your pillow as you lay in bed? You say run, I'll do laps until I collapse. Until I relapse to the same spot Where my legs drops, keep my head up. Keep your head down like a soldier Fighting through a war, getting older. What's the count now? It's a countdown. Eighteen shots rang out across the field Eleven more then each side did yield The commander speaks out in code Like he has a plan for that unknown Guerilla warfare until the cover is blown But they dont plan for worst scenario Passing the past like it's buried now. Each one would take a shot for America Right to the chest, right through the heart This is raw thoughts, I'm not wearing a vest. The pain could drain any in the path of this shooter But I'm a soldier looking into the future It's a countdown. What's the count now?
