Arrows

On occasion, my mouth still bleeds

From when I cut it when I was young.

Give me, give me one more chance

To make my old friends laugh

To be just a footnote in their paragraph.

So, I was down but still looking up from the ditch

So they grew their nails out

They were just trying to scratch my itch.

If I started over, I'd do the same again.

If I started over, I would do the same.

This is not, my swan song or adieu so beware

When they fly my white flag in the air

I'll shoot it down, I'll shoot it down

With arrows.

Because I spent all of my time

Trying to find what I need

But I was biting the hand that fed me

And so I was down but still looking up from the ditch

So it grew it's nails out

It was just trying to scratch my itch.

If I started over, I'd do the same again.

If I started over, I would do the same.

This is not, my swan song or adieu so beware

When they fly my white flag in the air

I'll shoot it down, I'll shoot it down

With arrows.

So I stopped running, started walking instead.

It was all in my head, nothings against me.

This war was more civil I realized

I had to secede from both sides.

I left myself with no ride home

But it's the last night of summer

And I don't mind walking alone.

Remember when we were naked

In the field behind your house?

If I started over, I'd do the same again.

If I started over, I would do the same.

This is not, my swan song or adieu so beware

When they fly my white flag in the air

I'll shoot it down, I'll shoot it down

With arrows.
