Cost of War

There's a cost to war 

When your gun is warm 

Half dead and half won 

There's an army under my chest 

Medal constitution 

No regret 

The black clouds suggest going back 

But I have come to far 

In this bullet proof vest 

My eyes tell a story 

Poker face conversation 

And the piano is playing louder 

At all my mistakes 

I laugh at this soldier 

In the dark I need no compass 

To find the shore 

Swords dull 

I don't need much 

To win 

I'm still standing 

We're the willing and departing 

It's my ocean 

I'm brave 

I'm broken 

I'm writing from the hull 

Stronger than I ever was before 

You haunt me 

You haunt me 

There's a cost to war 

Gun is warm 

Half dead and half won 

We go on ....
