Lyric Veteran Of The Psychic Wars

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I ve been living on the edge so long, where the winds of limbo roar
And I m young enough to look at, and far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I m not sure that there s anything left of me

Don t let these shakes go on, it s time we had a break from it
It s time we had some leave
We ve been living in the flames
We ve been eating up our brains
Oh please, don t let these shakes go on.

You ask me why I m weary, why I can t speak to you
You blame me for my silence, say it s time I changed and grew
But the war s still going on, dear, and there s nowhen that I know
And I can t stand forever
I can t say if we re ever gonna be free

Don t let these shakes go on, it s time we had a break from it
It s time we had some leave
We ve been living in the flames
We ve been eating up our brains
Oh please, don t let these shakes go on.

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
My energy is spent at last, and my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons, and I m helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I m made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory?

Don t let these shakes go on, it s time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
And men sliding into hell
Oh please, don t let these shakes go on.
