Silent War

He never knew struggle
Never played by their rules
But the things which faded bound him
Worked to blacken and bruise him
Using all of his strength but still losing
A war in his head
He’s dying to catch his breath
Keep his head above water
And there is no falling back and he knows
That the war it ain’t over, over
Quietly killing him
Slowly wasting away
He’s dying to catch his breath all in vain
'Cause the war it ain’t over
Eyes empty and hollow
With his back against the wall
But the memories won’t show mercy
They will blacken and bruise him
Using all of his strength but still losing
A war in his head
He’s dying to catch his breath
Keep his head above water
And there is no falling back and he knows
That the war it ain’t over, over
Quietly killing him
Slowly wasting away
He’s dying to catch his breath all in vain
'Cause the war it ain’t over
It will blacken and bruise him
Using all of his strength but still losing
A war in his head
He’s dying to catch his breath
Keep his head above water
And there is no falling back and he knows
That the war it ain’t over, over
Quietly killing him
Slowly wasting away
He’s dying to catch his breath all in vain
'Cause the war it ain’t over
