You struck me with your wars As you’re screaming bullets through my eyes My tears waving white flags But in our home all we could find were casualties I’m looking through your eyes, finding only graveyards of everything we hoped we would’ve found by now Creeping through the gallows of your mouth I find solace now, only in the shadows of things that used to be Words shooting through the belt, finding their way lower with every breath My insides became raw from all the sleepless nights of the fireworks mimicking our voices Igniting fires in my heart to try to keep you warm

Pt.1
You struck me with your wars As you’re screaming bullets through my eyes My tears waving white flags But in our home all we could find were casualties I’m looking through your eyes, finding only graveyards of everything we hoped we would’ve found by now Creeping through the gallows of your mouth I find solace now, only in the shadows of things that used to be Words shooting through the belt, finding their way lower with every breath My insides became raw from all the sleepless nights of the fireworks mimicking our voices Igniting fires in my heart to try to keep you warm
