Silent War
He never knew struggle,
Never played by their rules.
But the things which had failed(?) had bound him.
Worked to blacken and bruise him,
Using all of his strength but still losing,
A war in his head.
He's dying to catch his breath,
Keep his head above water.
And there is no falling back and he knows
That the war it ain't over, over
Quietly killing him,
Slowly wasting away.
He's dying to catch his breath all in vain,
'Cause the war it ain't over.
Eyes empty and hollow,
With his back against the wall.
But the memories won't show mercy,
They will blacken and bruise him
Using all of his strength but still losing,
A war in his head.
He's dying to catch his breath,
Keep his head above water.
And there is no falling back and he knows
That the war it ain't over, over
Quietly killing him,
Slowly wasting away.
He's dying to catch his breath all in vain,
'Cause the war it ain't over.
It will blacken and bruise him,
Using all of his strength but still losing
A war in his head.
He's dying to catch his breath,
Keep his head above water.
And there is no falling back and he knows
That the war it ain't over, over
Quietly killing him,
Slowly wasting away.
He's dying to catch his breath all in vain,
'Cause the war it ain't over.
Never played by their rules.
But the things which had failed(?) had bound him.
Worked to blacken and bruise him,
Using all of his strength but still losing,
A war in his head.
He's dying to catch his breath,
Keep his head above water.
And there is no falling back and he knows
That the war it ain't over, over
Quietly killing him,
Slowly wasting away.
He's dying to catch his breath all in vain,
'Cause the war it ain't over.
Eyes empty and hollow,
With his back against the wall.
But the memories won't show mercy,
They will blacken and bruise him
Using all of his strength but still losing,
A war in his head.
He's dying to catch his breath,
Keep his head above water.
And there is no falling back and he knows
That the war it ain't over, over
Quietly killing him,
Slowly wasting away.
He's dying to catch his breath all in vain,
'Cause the war it ain't over.
It will blacken and bruise him,
Using all of his strength but still losing
A war in his head.
He's dying to catch his breath,
Keep his head above water.
And there is no falling back and he knows
That the war it ain't over, over
Quietly killing him,
Slowly wasting away.
He's dying to catch his breath all in vain,
'Cause the war it ain't over.
