I am tattooed with fury

and broken lips sinking to the bottom of the ship

and i fall upon the stair down into a basin

of bright lights and angry screams

the purge

of my soul

from my body

and again

Here i am

again

most days i look forward to the thin lines

traced along the window sill

cracking outside of the frame of reference

i built with twine and a memory

i'm stuck in the dichotomy

between my heart and my brain

this war's taking forever

and it's driven me insane

i'm callous and calculating

all the decisions i have made

this war's taking forever

and it's driving me insane

so i lay myself to rest

and pray for another day

because this war's taking forever

and it's driving me insane

tomorrow i'll wake to indecision

and take comfort in that pain

since this war's taken forever

and it's driving me insane
