The war in my mind is waging
And no one is winning
And everyone is dying

It’s all just too confusing.
No one can tell the sides apart
So brothers kill brothers
Just as often as they kill anyone else.

No one understands what they are fighting for
But it no longer matters
Because the fight is fierce.
And no one can stop it
Because they are in too deep.
And now they are just blindly flinging themselves
In whatever direction they think might be right,
So in circles they run

No one knows what they are supposed to be doing
And so nothing can ever be accomplished.
Except to kill the one who is in front of you
Even if one doesn’t really want to kill
It has now become the reflex
And it’s too hard to stop
For you are parched,
And aching,
And weak.

The blood spills down
from the skin to the ground.
As the clouds begin to clear

An eye for an eye a soul for soul
My mind is all I fear.
