you are not as strong as you once were. your defenses are weakening, and the troops are retreating. but you stay planted. you will not move until this war has been won. you ache with hunger. your body caves as all missionaries desert and you find yourself the only one armed. but you stay planted. you will not move until this war has been won. you cry at night. your mind has gone crazy and the journalists have taken your heroic story from the headlines. but you stay planted. you will not move until this war has been won. you will not move until I love my self.

fighting my self destruction
you are not as strong as you once were. your defenses are weakening, and the troops are retreating. but you stay planted. you will not move until this war has been won. you ache with hunger. your body caves as all missionaries desert and you find yourself the only one armed. but you stay planted. you will not move until this war has been won. you cry at night. your mind has gone crazy and the journalists have taken your heroic story from the headlines. but you stay planted. you will not move until this war has been won. you will not move until I love my self.
