This Is a War

My feelings are involuntary to speak my mind
How many times do I have to say?
My words do no justice, to restore and prepare this floor
For my knees to break, bent over
In a machine clutter of tears tapping on surfaces we hear. (like the rain)
Departing clouds, and I'm here my dear
I'm standing in a puddle of a memory
And every time it stares at me

This is a war....a mental mindset to endure
There's no calm in the void.
Condition of a feeble fabrication to provide a core
Bullet for a fist and scratching seconds in my skin
I'm rectified through fire to restore
The windless kiss of a self contained grenade in the soul
You better hit the floor

So sound the alarm!
This is a war, to the core
So sound the alarm!
This is a war, to the core

When everything is so black inside
Urgency to intimidate, fixate the soul of mine, collective cunning
Stars gleaming from an indrawn breath
As this hits you in the chest

Hitting you in the chest like a bomb dropping now!
Can you feel anything?!
You're breaking now, and shutting down!
I never needed to believe, never needed to face the "mental"
To restore and prepare the floor for my knees to break a machine gun clatter of tears and heartache!
There's no calm in the void...no calm in the void!!
Hitting you in the chest like a bomb dropping now!
Can you feel anything?!
You're breaking now, and shutting down!!!
I never needed to believe, never needed to face the "mental"

I will wait until you're strong, and break you apart so strong!
This....is....a....war
This....is....a....war
This....is....a....war
This....is....a....war
This....is....a....war

When everything is so black inside...
Urgency to intimidate, fixate the soul of mine, collective cunning,
Stars gleaming from an indrawn breath
As this hits you in the chest

Hitting you in the chest like a bomb dropping now!
Can you feel anything?!
You're breaking now, and shutting down!
I never needed to believe, never needed to face the "mental"
To restore and prepare the floor for my knees to break a machine gun clatter of tears and heartache!
There's no calm in the void...no calm in the void!
Hitting you in the chest like a bomb dropping now!
Can you feel anything?!
You're breaking now, and shutting down!!!
I never needed to believe, never needed to face the "mental"
