Words lay in a heavy pile, Receipts love cannot reconcile, Scattered on the floor So much love we had held before, Yet somehow we declared a war. Insults flew like sharpened spears, Cries for peace that no one hears, No medic to be found On this casing littered killing ground, And still we braced for one more round. And none of us will win Just frightened souls accruing sin. None shall rise or claim a prize; Only fighters with blackened eyes And silence closing in.

Receipts Love Cannot Reconcile
Words lay in a heavy pile, Receipts love cannot reconcile, Scattered on the floor So much love we had held before, Yet somehow we declared a war. Insults flew like sharpened spears, Cries for peace that no one hears, No medic to be found On this casing littered killing ground, And still we braced for one more round. And none of us will win Just frightened souls accruing sin. None shall rise or claim a prize; Only fighters with blackened eyes And silence closing in.
