Chemical Warfare

byMagnetron©

Lock and load

Shoot it up

Do it again

Can't get enough

Life going nowhere fast
As you continue running
Dodging
Round after round
Rather than holding your ground
With stealth and cunning
Standing and fighting
For your inalienable right
To see the world about you through undialated eyes

To actually feel what it is like to be
Alive and carefree

Always easier to believe in the same old lies

Chemical Warfare

The coward's way out that never leads anywhere

Duck, run for cover
Bombs bursting in the air
Take a few more hits from the bong
And just sit there and stare

Incoming, head for the bunker
As the world comes crashing down

Fire!

FIRE!

Take another snort from the mirror
And get even

Higher

HIGHER

Leave your worries behind

Nevermind

That the only life you've taken for granted
Is bleeding out
Bleeding dry

Why bother to even try

Unable to find a measure of peace
War machine continues to roll
Tommorrow, just like yesterday
The day to day coping takes it's toll
The coping mechanisms take control
Corroding, eating away your soul

Chemical Warfare

Why bother to even care

Lock and load
Soon there will be nothing more to fear
Shoot it up
Take another snort from the mirror
It's always easier to believe in the same old lies
Just keep firing away at the enemy in your sight

Fire!

FIRE!

Until you can no longer can see the whites of their eyes
Just enough to make it through one more night
