| You see me now, a veteran
|
| Of a thousand psychic wars
|
| I’ve been living on the edge so long
|
| Where the winds of limbo roar
|
| And I’m young enough to look at
|
| And far too old to see
|
| All the scars are on the inside
|
| Not sure that there’s anything left to me
|
| Don’t let these shakes go on
|
| It’s time we had a break from it
|
| Time we had some leave
|
| We’ve been living in the flames
|
| We’ve been eating up our brains
|
| Oh, please, don’t let these shakes go on
|
| You ask me why I’m weary
|
| Why I can’t speak to you
|
| You blame me for my silence
|
| It’s time I changed and grew
|
| But the war’s still going on, girl
|
| And there’s no end that I know
|
| And I can’t say if we’re ever
|
| I can’t say if we’re ever gonna be free
|
| Don’t let these shakes go on
|
| Time we had a break from it
|
| Time we had some leave
|
| We’ve been living in the flames
|
| We’ve been eating out our brains
|
| Oh, please, don’t let these shakes go on
|
| You see me now, a veteran
|
| Of a thousand psychic wars
|
| My energy’s spent at last
|
| My armor is destroyed
|
| I have used up all my weapons
|
| And I’m helpless and bereaved
|
| Wounds are all I’m made of
|
| Did I hear them say this is victory?
|
| Don’t let these shakes go on
|
| Time we had a break from it
|
| Time we had some leave
|
| We’ve been living in the flames
|
| We’ve been eating out our brains
|
| Oh, please, don’t let these shakes go on
|
| Thank you. |
| That one’s a lot louder. |
| I like it. |
| Let’s keep this one |
