Trenches - Bittersweet

Look at my disaster,
Look at me,
I’m apprehensive with every breath I take,
Thinking this comes easy,
There’s no answer,
To a reason that never had a rhyme,
As I walk across the,
Across the broken bones of those I have slain,
I can see the ending,
I can see the end in sight but the cycle starts again.

So why won’t you lay with me,
My bittersweet,
Sanctioned melody,
So why won’t you lay with me,
My bittersweet,
Sanctioned melody.

My movements held captive,
It’s captivating how we shutter in the face of it,
My intentions struggle,
Looking forward to the faucet,
To wash away the blood,
Oh no,
Oh god,
I cannot believe I’ve let it slip away from this again.

So why won’t you lay with me,
My bittersweet,
Sanctioned melody,
So why won’t you lay with me,
My bittersweet,
Sanctioned melody.

Come alive,
Breathe,
And liberate the hearts of our wicked nation,
And childish minds,
Slow down the beating process of our endeavors,
Just strengthen our demeanor,
Slow down the beating process of our endeavors,
And come within the light.
