In Love And War

Too Close To Home

In Love And War


My body marked charred to the bone 
with these insecurities that I call my own. 
I see my life just slip away. 

Twenty years wasted, 
will I live another day? 
Divided angel spread your wings
and take me far away from here. 

I want to live among the stars 
and forget all my fears. 
This dream, it speaks to me, 
like a moth into a flame. 

Why does it encompass me? 
I live just to pray for 
the hope of success, 
to simply find my way.

I've never rescued an 
instance where I've felt content.

In a room with no windows, 
the shadows seem to merge. 

Pushing day by day, 
this fear forms in my throat. 

One somber swallow, 
and it will all come true. 

I wish for nothing more, 
than for this dream to come true. 

I'll fall to pieces when I consider you.
