This Means War

Hide my face again, harbor in the shadows Feel this weight of sin hammering away Die - with the guilt of a thousand AWOL soldiers Die - watch the scythe usher me astray I can't go on this way - Not as I am today The ugly side of me is strong Take aim a loaded gun - Pull back on all who run A cowards truth inside the wrong This Means War This Means War This Means War Lash your tongue of bane carry me to nowhere Mental holocaust battle never ends Lie - mask the pain of a child who's forsaken Lie - to myself, praise the new regime I left me long ago - Reasons you'll never know No one to miss me when I'm gone With no more words to say - No argument to stay Another post I don't belong This Means War This Means War This Means War This Means War This Means War No home to call my own - No finding someone new No one to break the fall - No one to see me through No name to carry on - No promise for today No one to hear the call - No tattered flag to raise Walk the razor's edge, cut into the madness Question all you trust, buy into the fear I - see the man ripping at my soul now I - I know the man, I know him all too well There's nothing here for free - Lost who I want to be My serpent blood can strike so cold On any given day - I'll take it all away Another thought I can't control This Means War This Means War This Means War This Means War This Means War
