THE LASTING DOSE

Sometimes

I need the fuel

I drain from you

That lasting dose turns cold and blue

I've died before so many times

In time reborn, in time

I'll find

That everlasting glow that blinds my view

My apathy turns thru and thru

This war inside has drained my will

Those things

I've done were overkill

I've felt the pain of a brutal war

I feel the pain of a lasting war
