Take Aim

Couldn’t feel my fingers feel my toes
and the shrapnel’s left me full of holes
clothes torn apart with chest exposed
in the seething rain my heart corrodes
and I can’t win, win this war
when braver men than me have fought and lost before
and if I win, win this war
then braver men than me have fought and lost before
and the blast lifted me off my feet
into the outstretched arms of recovery
and there’s still fragments buried deep into bone
and for every scar a stories told
but I can’t win, win this war
when braver men than me have fought and lost before
and if I win, win this war
then braver men than me have fought and lost before
Take aim and smile
we’ll wash away thoughts of you never far
away like a winters breath but never too far
and you layer your hands on me
there’s a feeling we could hope for posterity
sometimes the only way is to pull down the sky
and burn everything you know to the ground it’s the only way to start again
Take aim and smile

The Nearly Men's Society

break into pieces discard what’s left
scatter like ashes of the dead
let the wind do the rest
we go in search of the fragments and what we found
we stuck them down into a book of scrap
like pages from our past
we didn’t always know the words so we just hummed along
now the good times are all gone and I’m glad were moving on
I’ll see you in the next life, I’m sure it won’t be long
because every window closes and every door slams shut
I’m sorry you missed your moment but it’s time we all gave up
and we’ll join the nearly mens society
we’ll all go our separate ways, and we’ll all die quietly
because every windows broken and every door is locked
I’m sorry you missed your moment but it’s better late than never
we didn’t always know the words so we just hummed along
we lost all sense of direction with no maps to read
it didn’t come with instructions, no advice to heed
and if I’m still here in 2 years will you carry me to safety please
Through it all, threw it all away
