Only a matter of time Is what I muttered to myself For the better part of a week now But that day has come That day has come And no one knows but me And you But you really knew all along Didn't you? Holidays tend to spell the end for me And the writing on the walls is the same color as the warning lights I ignored for months No one knows but us No one knows but us And only I know what these nights can do to me Blasting Dead Kennedys to write this poem Carve my doubts and solace into walls I warned the both of us but we were too young and proud to listen We were warned And tonight If the devil goes down to Georgia He will take Sherman with him But the hand of war is here And I can only keep it out of my heart for so long State lines are prison walls Only if you want them to be An incarceration in my mind Solitary confinement in my head My heart beats like a gavel Darling I'm here for life
