You see me now, a veteran Of a thousand psychic wars
You ask me why I'm weary Why I can't speak to you
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
You blame me for my silence Say it's time I changed and grew
My energy is spent at last And my armor is destroyed
And I'm young enough to look at And far too old to see
But the war's still going on, dear And there's no end that I know
I have used up all my weapons And I'm helpless and bereaved
All the scars are on the inside
And I can't say if we're ever
Wounds are all I'm made of
I'm not sure that there's anything left of me
I can't say if we're ever gonna be free
Did I hear you say that this is victory
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
Send me to the rear
We've been living in the flames
Where the tides of madness swell
We've been eating out our brains
And been sliding into hell
Oh, please don't let these shakes go on
Oh, please don't let shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
