I don’t know rattling gunfire terror Sand in eyes when sight is key I’ve never had life flow From my best friend onto my fingertips I’ve never killed a stranger Or hated one enough to seriously consider it I haven’t watched metal angels soar Releasing exploding flowers from their bellies I don’t wake cold sweaty drenched Long after the battle has ended I don’t see faces endless faces Imagine lives that do not live I don’t want any of this I’ll probably never have any of this I won’t know it I won’t live with it So why Should they?

Fear for Fatigues
I don’t know rattling gunfire terror Sand in eyes when sight is key I’ve never had life flow From my best friend onto my fingertips I’ve never killed a stranger Or hated one enough to seriously consider it I haven’t watched metal angels soar Releasing exploding flowers from their bellies I don’t wake cold sweaty drenched Long after the battle has ended I don’t see faces endless faces Imagine lives that do not live I don’t want any of this I’ll probably never have any of this I won’t know it I won’t live with it So why Should they?
I've been doing some thinking lately.
