about

wrote this song my junior year of high school and our band performed it at the school talent show

lyrics

just a boy waiting for his parachute to deploy
into a jungle of bullets waiting to destroy him
oh his chances they look so slim
but he holds his head high and just pretends
that he's in a good book with a good end
and he says in his head, "i've got a country to defend"
but the worst parts not knowing whether or not he's gonna win
dam i wish his future didn't look so dim

i don't wanna hear it
don't wanna stop and fear it

hold your forces let go of your horses
stay on course but be true to your sources
when you take all the kings men
you're in control just don't be the one to think thin
don't be the one again who isn't true within himself
who never lets anyone in and never finds the time to make amends
i've said i don't know
i've said i can't see
and now i sit back and watch as you perceive and believe in me
and all the things i've achieved
and now i'm passed out in the darkness
in a dumpster full of grief hoping
the boasts of mosts will come to you for free
but if the devil has his way well then you're burning underneath my feet
