Machine of War

Three years, could be three days
No sleep builds a haze
Can't close my eyes, they're coming for me
Firing down through the trees

So help me god, you swore
Fed as flesh into the machine of war

The foundation of life
Given no reprise
Is sucked up and devoured
By this strength and demise

Are you tired? Are you breaking?
You will soldier on
Forget what happens when you get home

Can handle anything
But can't handle anyone

So slowly bury the truth
Under the pile you dug
While you construct your trench
When you're stuck in the mud

So help me god, you swore
Fed as flesh into the machine of war

Standing in line, laying in dirt
Awake for days desperate to stay alert

I am tired, I am breaking

Are you tired? Are you breaking?
You will soldier on
Forget what happens when you get home
Are you anxious? Don't start shaking
You will soldier on
Forget what happens when you get home

Frightened in the corner
Throw yourself in the fire
You're not the only one

Stare down the barrel of your gun
Can handle anything
But can't handle anyone
