Perpetual Battle

I've got so much to say
But the words fall apart
As they're pushed through my mind
Like my blood through my heart
And the thoughts crash together
With a screech of their tires
'Cause the kids that are smiling
Are all little liars

'Cause some kids are talking
With a swing of their fist
Then with a turn of their heel
Screaming out "Coexist!"
Because who gives a fuck
What's wrong or what's right
When they all have a pillow
To cry on at night

With the blink of an eye
And a slip of the tongue
A life is expelled
With the air from my lung
So they slip away slowly
Through time and through space
Leaving no sign of being
But a scar on my face

The world keeps on moving
Full of filth and of hate
As we crawl across land
With our spite as our weight
To drag as all down
Through earth's living hell
Till we reach the new ocean
And are plunged in its swell
