One-Sided War
If we rely on truth, then we will die bloody and screaming
These new age Gods eat the young when they first start crawling
Deprivation fuels this tank full of poison
And it's killing our people, and everyone's blind to it
Massacres happen because of the guardsmen who call in sick
Believe it or not, the fight has followed us home.
We can not just shake it off anymore.
We are not blessed with second chances,
we're more like cursed for someone else's atrocities.
While we pick our scabs because the scars will look cool,
Other people's wounds are healed, maybe we should learn by example.

its some real nuggets in here besides this one: "While we pick our scabs because the scars will look cool,
Other people's wounds are healed, maybe we should learn by example."
