Slipping in and out
of a war zone
No peace, no ease within
I’m on alert
My enemies take many forms
They’re everywhere
With bullets from their tongues
I’m on the lookout
A barren landscape with no warmth
My sight has become quite deformed
But it will certainly be clear
If I live everyday in fear
I just want to see the grass grow.
I just want to see the grass grow.
I just want to see the fucking grass grow
Can you see me out here? Are you hostile?
In this scorched earth were I’m from, no one is usually in slight
Tell me please can you show me the way
Its long since time to evacuate (I would like to see some trees)
I am desperate could get shot any day
I could get shot any fucking day (I would to see the seas)
I am scared
I am trapped here in the this war zone
With constant threats but no life
No trees, no grass (nothing but bleakness as far as the eye)
Just relax your mind, of your demons
Just relax your mind, of your demons
Just relax your mind, of your demons
(I just want to see the grass grow)
Just relax your mind, of your demons
(I just want to see the grass grow)
Just relax your mind, of your demons
Just relax your mind, of your demons.
Hmmmmm. More down votes than upvotes 😬. Does anyone have any feedback. I’d love to hear some.
I like it. Wondering if “… In slight” was a typo or just a play on words. Also I think it would be prettier without curse words but depends what you’re ultimately going for. This feels to me more like song lyrics than straight prose with that style of repetition
That’s kinda what I’m going for. Song lyrics. And for the curse words I put them because that’s what people say when they are desperate. Like adding in “fucking” I think ads to this because it conveys the sense of anger and adds intensity rather than just straight up repeating it three times.
