In my veiny skeletal hands, is a war One which I did not start Just a innocent bystander Watching my solid foundation turn into powder Reeled in involuntarily Siding with one party Making an enemy of myself to the other party A war which wasn't mine A war I was not shielded from A war that ended long ago In my mind the war is still alive I know not why I carry it with me
Like the scars on the flesh that covers my carpus The scars in my mind run deep They will never fade
In my frail heart therein lies memories Of a past ought to be forgotten The memories I cling to To fuel my hatred Like pouring diesel into a burning fire Sustaining this fury that burns inside of me Lugging resentment like that massive suitcase too big for you to carry
Forever the oversensitive one These overwhelming emotions are taking over From here on now rationality has been lost
This war will be my demise Bitterness in an incurable sickness
