War Torn World

Trapped
Running, hiding
Can't escape
I don't know where I'm going
I just want to get away

As the missiles pour
The bullets soar
Ripping through the air around me
It surrounds me
I can't see
Past the blood and dust
Inside and out, It's all rust

Drop down
Keep low
Don't show
Don't you dare
Just stay inside the hole

As the Missiles pour
The bullets soar
Ripping through the air around me
It surrounds me
I can't see
Past the blood and dust
Inside and out, It's all rust

This rust
Is so unjust
It cakes the gears
That moved and worked
For so many years
I just hate it all
How I can't escape these walls
Inside my head
