Words

I’m a bullet I’m a bomb – Waiting to go off
I’m shrapnel from a blast looking for prey
Sometimes it takes everything I have
Just to turn my mind away
Ignoring what you say

Exploding light it burns my eyes
Stars that spin and hypnotize
Word by word and line by line
I’m looking for a home

I’m in full dress uniform again, being carried out by my friend
Doing battle with my dreams again
Absolution for my sins — this song of broken down men
Pushing forward and snapping back again
Won’t you make this less real
Keep the hurt from getting in
A sad day when your heroes fall and you’re left with you again

Some people are just believers
They’re ignoring all they can
In a world filled with madness
I get afraid of the everyman

So I hurt the ones that love me
But they’re just doing all they can
In this world filled with sadness
I became the everyman
