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
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
