Entropy in Blood

All retaliation has a cost…

My soul is choking on this hell I’ve made
And I can’t help but feel I’ve earned
Everything that’s happening to me.
Clearing the way,
No “weakness” to be found.

A little space, a little thought,
What can justify what nothing justifies?

My hands are dripping with this blood I’ve made
And I can’t seem to wash them clean of
Stains that tell my guiltiness.
Eyes turn to stone,
Too stubborn to be torn.

From deep within me my past conscience
Screams in pain, but doesn’t make a sound.
It holds the key,
I’m certain it can save me,
From the sins I now live.
And now as I retreat, there’s no coward in me.
It takes courage,
To say what’s popular isn’t right,
And I wash my hands of this war.

All retaliation has a cost…

My dreams are filled with faces I can’t see,
And blurry realizations of
A thousand spirits haunting me.
Never at peace,
A story I’d ignored.

Empathy sacrificed,
What can justify what nothing justifies?

Wash now as everything gets muddy feet
From tromping through the trenches where
Corpses come up to your knees.
Your heart forgets to beat,
It's everyone's defeat…
