The Gash

Is that gash in your leg

really why you have stopped?

Cause I've noticed all the others,

though they're gashed,

they're still going.



Cause I feel like

the real reason that you're quitting

is that you're admitting that you've lost all the will

to battle on



Will the fight for our sanity

Be the fight of our lives

now that we've lost all the reasons

that we thought that we had.



Still the battle that we're in

rages on 'til the end.

With explosions wounds are open,

sights and smells, eyes and noses,

but the thought that went unspoken

was understanding that you're broken..



Still the last volunteer battles on, battles on, battles on...
