Man At War

I wish for one little piece of peace
Something to help me breathe
No matter how far I reach
I cannot stand from my knees

I, a man at war
With myself
And everyone else
The world is my field
To battle
�Til all is settled

I will take from each a little piece
Leave your foundations down
Underneath the swinging trees
You�ll be planted six feet down

I will leech from you all, one of each
Just like others, just like you
From rapists to men that preach
Then show you exposed and true

I, a man at war
With myself
And everyone else
Standing over you
I�m broken
Give you this token

You should have walked away
To bullshit me another day
It�s too late, little punk
Fuck you, your time is up

I will now teach this final screech
Stay one step before the curve
I rise for one last reach
And expose you like a nerve

I, a man at war
With myself
And no one else
Standing on bodies
Are bleeding
No longing screaming
