Prisoners of War

These rings I believed would unite a devotion    
Honey if I only could describe how it has divided us  
Magnetic lines quivering the grounds we march to    
Past wounds never healed surrounding us in mines    
Push with words & pull with enmeshed emotions    
Trying to get one to cross a line to set off a chain reaction    
Hollow points dispensing unresolved memorials    
A atmosphere so toxic I wear a gas mask to suspire    
Shadows of ourselves have brought us to the darkest hour    
I've gained a night vision to perceive in this dark desert storm    
    
As napalm glazed this heavenly  sky    
Assuming all of these lethal views passing by    
This love has turned into the coldest fight in my core    
Sirens echoing on this battlefront, my dear We are prisoners of war    
   
Shooting lies grazing the back of our heads to stockpile ammunition    
Throwing grenades at each other without pulling the pins    
Poisoning water supplies to provide a temporary antidote    
Recruiting armies of self hate while sacrificing the truth    
Letting sadness be the fuel supply for our tanks    
Taking happiness on a personal kamikaze run    
Becoming Weapons of our own mass self destruction    
If we could vaporize founding fathers with resentment passed on    
We have become medics on D-day armed with band aids    
While that quicksand engulfs a revolution of liberty    
   
As napalm glazed this heavenly  sky    
Assuming all of these lethal views passing by    
This love has turned into the coldest fight in my core    
Sirens echoing on this battlefront, my dear We are prisoners of war    
   
This chemical warfare is eating us from the inside out    
Trembling with survivors guilt deep in these trenches    
Within this fight you finally found a way to cross that line    
My finger on the button I cant dictate a reason to press    
Knowledge is power & a solution to put out all the lit fuses    
Disarming myself to find a battle worth my own sacrifice    
With prayers god can not fix this unholy duel    
My tanks empty, mines removed, safeties on    
Happiness on standby, I have accepted my purple heart    
Discharged of hate & with honor to view the beauty of life    
Don't take this white flag & justify to cover it in red    
To make my peace a martyr of your internal war
