Midst of a Social Battle
Sickened by the heat of battle,
chilled by the cold of your words
Waiting for the music of fights--
the shouting of our own rights
Lusting for the pain; craving the chase
(keep beside me, match my fast pace)
Longing for the defeated gaze,
watch your glory number your days
Forget about the risk of the fall,
just remember that we started it all
What was a little fight
came from "You're wrong, I'm right."
What came from a fight turned into a war,
and here we are--like never before
Over and over, we spit and hiss,
there's no such thing as "ignorant bliss"
And though we can't smile--it's all we can think--
I know my sanity is right on the brink
Please end this soon, I'm not going down,
when this is over... can "over" be found?
