I've
been trained for war
I've been bred to kill I don't know how to stop I don't know that I will I remember the day I married you your mother in tears your sister in blue and I wish I could stay who I was who was who? before I knew before I knew the rest of the world & everything's wrong and we've all been lied to. belonging to what? belonging to who? And for God's sake, why? Oh God, how I loved you.. And I'm still on the edge I'm in demand.. pledged. And I know I must detonate on command.. don't you see, honey? half a world away.. is.. something I'll never be able to explain. oh, honey, I wish I could make you see.. I can't be I can't be any longer. the man that you knew.. in this place, mow the grass, MTV and the cat, and you're worried about this and that.. and I don't care what the neighbor said about your hair and your dress I don't care what your boss does the world is a mess and I'm not making sense this is all make-believe I wake up in a sweat and I dream burning leaves and an 8 year old boy earning his gun and nothing is left, no one, no one, and never again will we have a first kiss, you are a stranger what's the point of all this? and I can't live out my life with the world in my head A prisoner of visions I wish I were dead & I can't bear to tell you life is cheap after all mothers & daughters & babies all fall and I do my job and I did my job well and now I'm condemned to hell and you look at me, crying, and ask who I am, who I was doesn't matter but this can't be being a man. look away. look away. let me take us away. |
