smile
you will be my shield
you'll be the only thing
anyone ever sees
kill
crush me, break my will
cease the endless rats inside the walls
that squeak and scratch away
and keep me awake
this is my vice that i will break
this is my christ in arms today
this is my golden chance
to fight the odds that never seem to change
ne'er seem to change
ne'er seem to change
today
love
don't hurt me this time
be for real
or kindly let this
lonely soldier be
fear
my old friend disappear
leave me to regard the world
in better ways
than what is wrong
and what cannot be
don't say you'll change
