MY WAR GOES ON FOR DAYS

              In my head
              there are soldiers
              Left and right
              Right or wrong
              Clashing
              like leopard and
              paisley
              No rhyme or reason
              Arms up
              in surrender
              or defiance
              I can't tell anymore
              I just hide
              behind a shadow
              of doubt
              for the smoke to clear
              and the lights
              to come back on
