Only those who've been in war
Can actually relate
Not one chance to even the score
One can only contemplate

War is used in a different sense
Struggling in life is what's meant
Fighting circumstances more intense
Then the reaction that is sent

Survival of the fittest is spoken
As a loose description of reality
Souls become so menisculely broken
Words to be taken literally

So good luck to everyone out there
I'm sure oneday you'll see
Out of all the trials and despairs
The good that has come from me

Prisoners of War

Traipsing on life's battlegrounds
Watching the chaos disperse
Familiar territory you it surrounds
Of some foresworn overbearing curse

Smoke and haze cause you tears
Flashbacks cross your mind
An overwhelming feeling of fear
Searching for answers you'll never find

Prisoners of war, you are but one
Locked away in some deep dark cell
Doing time, though nothing you've done
Can rectify the stories you can tell

Chained to an invisible wall
The key just outside your reach
Tortured into believing it's all
Just a figment you've come to beseech

Struggling to bring an end to the pain
Your strategy is falling apart
Finding a solution that's to your gain
Knowing you've scarred your broken heart
