Defeated
Defeated
I have my white flag waving.
I'm in the trenches waning.
I have my black heart breaking
with the pressures gaining.
I've got a spot of color just behind my eyelids.
I've got a sense of anger burning red and vibrant.
I've got a flash of hope behind apprehension.
I've got the notion of defeat in our separation.
I have my white flag waving
with the pressures gaining.
I have my my black heart breaking.
I'm in the trenches waning.
