Is anyone else awake

Deaf ears on these words must fall

Dodging friendly fire 

Marksmanship inspires

The end that is never the end

There’s no difference between foe or friend

Blanks in the chamber, they’ll have you believe

Faces so sober, trusting souls deceived

Mouth less children, still promises they feed

Bullets softer now, still we bleed

The megaphone speaks still pulses race and scream

Things will be quiet soon
