The War Between Both Wars

Have you ever woke up feeling like you were in someones else's shoes
different feeling different smile people acting different towards you
saying whats up how you been?
You look back at them like who are you? i'm confused
Got to go back to your same job which you once loved
now you sit back all dressed up looking at the clock above
watching the hands of time passing you by
as you run out the door and you get shoved
You just want to mind your own business and ask yourself why
so you now look up in the air towards the sky
you can do whatever you think you can do to hide
but remember the hands on the clock wont ever stop your time..

so do what you want to do living in the world where your trapped against your will
let the older men commence the wars, don't worry the younger one's will get killed
Sitting here in my uniform trying to feel full filled
Telling myself shes going to wait for me i know she will
So i fight not only for her but for people who care
Only the men beside me will feel what i share

But i realize now this will never be alright
But that's just life i picked so people can do what they want to do
And its funny because no one ever has a clue
flip the channel to see what new movie is coming out fuck the news
there ain't nothing there to watch 4 marines died "nah i'm not too amused"
rather sit back and watch cartoons or text a friend but don't even take that simple second
to realize these guys honestly died for you
So would you rather have it be your older brother who drives you around at night just to spend time with you
maybe your father who you remember use to run up to you and hugged you
would you rather it be your bf who sits there with his little kids voice calling you boo
take a second and realize what we done
like a great man once said "In life the son bury their father in war the father bury their son"

Then i wake up and i'm still here fighting for your life
while you sit there all night the your wrist slit open and blood on the knife
While you argue to your husband or wife
don't you realize how valuable it is to be alive
Let's switch sides and soon you'll realize
Why must you fight, why must you argue
time stops for no one life the bullet that took a life

This is a war i fight through with no bullets or pointing fingers of the accused
All in my head this pain and anger with almost no fuse
This anger which i use is not my excuse
Just wish you can all see what iv'e seen
felt what i felt as the pain just melts
And shes the only one i have left
the only one i have i can hold onto
How truly blessed i am to have you
So before you have a fight with someone you love
Come step into my shoes
