To a Buddy at War

If you could see me now
You would probably ask me the same questions
«What the f*ck have you done?» and «Why?»
But it’s better unsaid
It’s unimportant
Because to me
Yeah it makes no difference
A distant wall
Far from here
A shadow of a young man with a gun
Can’t see his eyes
It’s not a stranger this time
This time it’s someone that we once called friend
And I hope you know
That I always thought of you as an ally
I’d rather have a conversation
Just a convoluted explanation
A distant wall
Far from here
A shadow of a young man with a gun
Can’t see his eyes
It’s not a stranger this time
And I’m sorry that I never said goodbye
I can see us now
Naive kids walking home from school
What were we supposed to do?
