Declaration
Turmoil raging rampant, seas thrashing against the ship
Cannonballs flying by, musket fire raining down
My heart is under siege; resolve’s starting to slip
If I don’t do something soon, the tides will help us drown
The war will never end because the foes are deep inside
It’s the age-old battle fought between the heart and mind
Want to do versus need to do means I can’t pick a side
How can I choose between love and posterity? Answer: undefined
It’s all his fault, he walked right in without a single warning
He captivated, enlightened, intrigued me with his thoughts
He’s bad for me, everyone says, I should start walking
But every time I think about it, my heart seizes, rolling into knots
We fire back against my brain with incendiaries, my heart and I
Passion and desire, engulfed in flames, we won’t leave without a fight
Our archers upon the mast cock their bows and arrows assault the sky
Arrows return, punching holes in the deck, as the sun sets into night
So what if he has a past? So what if his family can’t function?
And maybe he had to help his no-good parents and stole a car
He was just doing what he had to and he still feels his compunction
You stupid brain, you concentrate solely on the faults, your worrisome high bar
He’s good to me, he treats me right, has never done me wrong
He’s loving and compassionate, he’s atoning for his sins
Cut him some slack, he’s trying, I’ve never seen someone so strong
Can’t you see I love him? Don’t you know the two of us are ready to begin?
Obviously not, shrapnel still flies, more arguments soaring through the air
But I distance myself from the gory setting; remove myself from the war
Because deep in my soul, I’ve already chosen, I love him, I’ve declared
The galleon of my brain disappears in black smoke; the heart ship goes ashore
The war’s taken a rest for now, but will resume in due course
Maybe not over him, but something else for sure
And when it does, they’ll attack each other full force
No mercy will be given, of that you can be assured
