lyrics

Veteran

V1.

Alone again.
The walls feel like they are caving in.
And the emptiness is stifling
And you can’t begin
To even think about rising again.
An eternity spans a single cycle
Of the ticking hand.
No friends to see, another day left unplanned;
This is your lullaby,
On your pillow as you
Softly lie.

V2.

Alone, again.
A brand new dawn, a contemporary truth,
The deification of beauty and youth.
Like flies around a pretty flame
You hear the adulation cries again
But it’s not for you
Or your peers log departed
For they’ve forgotten you and the debt they started.
So now this is you defiant protest cry
The sweet and bitter
Goodbye.
