The battle nobody knows we fight
Lies right behind our minds
In the dark of the night
The scars it leaves behind
Leaps out from the corner of your eye
That slight tremble of your lips
And we know the words you say
Every tone and enuciation
Reveals the struggle
It's the greatest war and
the one given the least importance
Comrades raise your weapons
And fire at yourselves
I think nobody knows the truth
Is that we can never win
A war against ourselves
I think I'm tired of the lies
The ones we make up to forget
"Forge forward" i mean
The ones to pretend to have
Or rather that we "lack"
The things we trip over
Sorry it's called "leaving behind"
Different terminology
We name things but that doesn't
Make them any different
From what they really are
Why are we trying so hard
To lie to ourselves?
I wonder if this war exists
Or another child's play that I've taken far too seriously.
