Battlefield

I feel the start of another war
The conflicts lie within
I just couldn’t help myself escape
I am dying for nothing

This battlefield I call my home
My friends just don’t exist
Wars will start when I’m alone
It is my pain that must insist

Conclusions come from hating this
Tainted and disposed
Before I even make my wish
I know my darkness only grows

I separate my broken mind
My body from my soul
Each part a realm that I will find
Takes me down a hole

Looking back, this soldier fell
His spirit lost its way
Looking now, I am in hell
The devil makes me stay

Life is just an empty word
Hurting all I see
Death is something I just heard
Now it’s hurting me
