Adam

I can't connect, I won't This life knows no other option I am dying daily A piece at a time, I'm numb You keep coming undeterred, driven by a higher force Somebody is keeping the score but the results never change We are not so different I question silently as hearts stop beating I am highly skilled, trained in my surroundings Equipped Your death will encourage more, like you to the same fate The price on your head is cheaper than the real cost We are at war, I miss my family and they don't know me anymore I don't write home, though letters arrive secretly evidencing my merciless purpose I am blind, you are too We are all guilty though no crimes are judged except in personal conflict We are all sheep Follow the herd Or face the consequences It's not so bad, you have a choice I can't wash off the blood But I am free, I'm out of the game. Substitutions made its time for recovery Though my mind can't forget My training remains still, as fresh as another corpse loaded and packed I am a dangerous being mind body and soul Manufactured this way with upgrades fine tuning my potential I am among you but don't worry yourself, you are a killer like me Though my mind may be broken, chains torn free This war continues and the losses rise in line with replacements Small gains make me hopeful as alternatives are born The victims keep coming, presented with instructions for you. Man Perfect in god's image Heaven and hell
