Back and forth
Glance at the screen
The mind a fire
Burning all I’ve seen
Back and forth
The sun up high
The air is still
The demons cry
Back and forth
The swing moves on
The child smiles
All hope is gone
Back and forth
To keep that joy
As hundreds die
The drones deploy
No sun I can see in the skies above
No life I can live or truth I can love
While I push my body to action for her
No shadows around as my life is a blur
All shapes are black and outlined in grey
Nothing has texture and night here as day
I wait for my pulse to stop so I can get away
My life already over but I still need to stay
Back and forth
a breeze comes through
she giggles and moves her hair aside
as i fake a smile and wait to die
