Lay Down Your Guns

Fighting this war for so long
That Ive forgotten what im fighting for
So focused on staying strong
That I don't know who I am anymore

Lay down your guns

A soldier is my identity
Marching into battle as expected
A steadfast intensity
A body count I have collected

Lay down your guns

There is no peace in war
Then what am I fighting for?
Who is keeping score?
Loyal to this oath I swore

Lay down your guns

A final enemy remains across the field
Its either him or me
His position remains concealed
I advance so I can see

Lay down your guns

He matches every move I make
Remaining just out of my sight
Waiting for a single mistake
To finally end this fight

Lay down your guns

Hes backed in a corner, no escape
I move in quickly for the kill
The figure slowly starts to take shape
Both of us become still

Lay down your guns

Looking in the eyes of the enemy
The reality becomes too clear
This whole time I have been fighting me
I'm the only one here

Lay down your guns
