Barbed Wire

Let me down easy
I don't wanna die slow
If you don't need me
I don't wanna know

Its been a hard year
Its taken its toll
You haven't been here
You left me alone

I'm a child in a world full of giants and thieves
They rob and they plunder and take what they need
I feel as though there's nowhere to turn
Let this war be a lesson from which we can learn.

I'll write definitions that darken the sky
The mirage has no meaning that's why it's gone dry
I stand on the banks of a sandy slope, tired
My hands bound by inaction
and rusty barbed wire
