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
