Tug Of War

 

Verse 1

Brain versus heart

Ancient foes

Armies square off

To trade blows

 

Verse 2

Brain is strong

Reliable and true

Heart is strong

Unpredictable and blue

 

Verse 3

Battlefield is set

My body no control

Never ready

For the bloodshed to follow

 

Verse 4

Tug of war starts

Huge armies pull tight

Armies straining

To win the fight

 

Verse 5

One by one

They start to fall

No quarter given

Blood starts to pool

 

Verse 6

End goal drives them

Pointless it seems

Waste deep in carnage

End goal a dream

 

Verse 7

Tired eyes stare

At a bloodied waste land

Dream is no closer

Weapons laid down

​

Verse 8

Overcome with

Absolute loss

Bloodied and beaten

Dreams are lost

 

Verse 9

My shell is beaten

Bloody and torn

Hollowness showing

Sad and forlorn

 

Verse 10

War is soon forgotten

No shadow to cast

This never ending cycle

Will be my last
