War of Scars

You try to throw your troubles out the door..
And then you bitch and find yourself deep in a war..
You hear the cries of all echo and roar..
And then you wish to moan but you shall never change things and rest like before..

I don't care for you and your war..
All I want is to reach the shore..
I don't care for how many you kill to increase the score..
All I want is to be with my family more..

So please let me go from this wretched land..
I wish I could throw away this gun from my hand..
So please release me from this cage so I can reach up the sky and fly..
I wish to run away from this hatred which tears us apart till we die..
