Divine Discontent
There is no peace in a war zone
The battlefield's become my home
Casualty is mind and body
Assaulted by my worst enemy
Maybe tonight it'll let me sleep
I can't decide
I don't know why
It's hard letting go of superficial things
Put off by yesterday's reason to be happy
Nothing ever seems to change
Elusive serenity
She doesn't want to visit me
Been so long
And I miss her
Can't do this alone
But I've always been told
No one is worth trusting
Here I am
Fork in the road
I stand
All signs read HOV lanes only
So I guess I'll wait
When joined by another
Closer than a sister or mother
That never goes away
Til then I have to sit and spin
This bizarre web I'm weaving
And hope for better days
