Losing War

Tough times will erode our conditioned, frail souls

Tough times will erode our conditioned, frail souls

This erosion will always be

An unwelcome reality

What's ahead is cut and dry

Looming like a blackened sky

How do you fight a losing war

The single encouragement is damage control

How do you fight a losing war

Improvise in trying times

Bending the rules

Tough times will erode our conditioned, frail souls

Tough times will erode our conditioned, frail souls

Wear erosion like a badge

Tune out the lousy effect it's had

An ironic victory

Consolation's bittersweet

How do you fight a losing war

The single encouragement is damage control

How do you fight a losing war

Improvise in trying times

Bending the rules as you go

What's been keeping us going this far,

These times

These moments,

The good life,

Remembrance, in tough times

What's been keeping us 'round this long,

These times

These moments,

The good life

Remembrance, in tough times
