While remaining absent of heat
Vision lacking and reach cut short
You can smile, let your face hit the dirt
Since it's seven past, everything's invalid
But with a grinning tone in the desert
A gasp could be heard 'round the world
And the sweet sounds of vomit aren't short behind
That picture frame's turned to the opposite
The alternative takes the way and tears it astray
Everywhere we choose to see
A frozen smile greets us casually
A picture's worth a thousand years
And we've only just turned sixteen
We're actually one-hundred percent immortal
And this life is a temporary stand-off,
so say something
Anything...
Everything
Worthy of haste and buried below
Corpse-ridden battlefield
There's nothing symbolic
It rots,
and it rots all over again
In a metallic skull
Jagged-toothed along the way
With limitless mechanisms
Thoughts and ideals dart back-and-forth
Never escaping through speech or signal
Left to rot
Such as the battle
Such as the soldier
The frequently misguided soldier
There never was a last time,
There'll never be another beginning
When the last page turns,
All that was is thrown to an artificial breeze.
