End Transmission
The sound of waves crashing down
Onto the night it found
Restless warrior washed up on unknown ground
Restless warrior shadows switching all around
Gunpowder pollen on lavender air
Adrenalized fear don’t forget your
Mission your function
End transmission
No contact, lost and wandering
A simple life of indiscreet
Goings-on after the sun sets
Wipe the blade clean on the canvas
Legs of these tattered britches
Torn with briars and thorns and near misses
The choir of birds begin their courting
Sending me back to the cleansing strеam
Restless warrior blending with surroundings
Rеstless warrior bending to dark doubting
Restless warrior expending your grounding
In the whispers between the shouting
Myths of morphing or glowing eyes
Legend has it this island
Is crippled by relentless tides
So they say, maybe it’s always been
Here I am with bordeaux on the canvas
Smudged and drawn and quartered
Women and children
Innocents and civilians
Hide my hands thrown up to the heavens
Doused in mud that once fueled these streets
Look around and see the flags of our fathers
What would they think of us now
Soul stained scarlet, who wants to know?
Articles and interviews, welcome back parades
Saliva confetti drenches his coat
No one willing to even take his résumé
They look away like he is a monster
Turn their backs like abusive mothers
Morals matter less when following orders
The two on your shoulders feud with each other
Deep breath, end transmission
Deep breath, end transmission
Deep breath, end transmission
Deep breath
Confused and depressed
Restless warrior fighting for a way back home
Restless warrior finding solace in stone
Restless warrior, was this worth fighting for?
Restless warrior found floating near the shore
