War Weary

When the battles first began I was quick to draw my sword
But now it’s gone so long with so little gained, I just don’t know if I can fight anymore
Been looking all around and the fighting shows no end
I’ve come to see that it’s all a game that the warriors never win
Long nights of fighting back to back
Always ready for the enemy’s attack
So many now have died
What for and why
Maybe if it ends someday I’ll grow up to be a man myself
So unlike all the ones who died or are rotting in a darkened cell
We’ve covered snow in crimson rain and felt war’s glory
But for all those we left back home, I know it’s such a different story
Long nights of fighting back to back
Always ready for the enemy’s attack
Feel the rush and make the battlecry
It won’t change that I am war weary

Sit there thinking
In your room
You feel the pressure
You're going crazy too
The walls around you
Closing in
You need a change
Claustrophobic
Feeling scared
You need somebody
But no one seems to care
A one way ticket
A change of pace
You've had enough
Can't take no more
Breaking the chains around you
Nobody else can bind you
Take a good look around you
Now you're breaking the chains
Got this letter
Came today
From my baby
Who left me yesterday
Said she loves me
She'll come back
She wants to try
I won't let her
She'll be upset
I know it's better
Than something I'll regret
She's been dishonest
And insincere
I lost my mind
Twenty times a year
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
Woke up today
I'm alone
I look around
But baby you were gone
But I don't mind
And I don't worry
I will survive
I'm alone
Now that you're gone
Don't need nobody
To hold or tie me down
I broke the chains
So let me be
I've gotta be free
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
