"Modus Operendi (Red Animal War)" by Red Animal War

he broke up the line and checked the time a soldier never
cries but there was one cracked by the sun collapsed but not
quite done wake up and die force fed your life they've got
his soul and spine where he can't breathe but he can burrow
where he will only know the whites of their eyes he will go
down into the air down where no one cares his name's on a
wall they will never see is history such a grand place to be
if it's up to speed outrace the irony the wife he'd never
leave his body's on the beach and if it's up to speed he
will get there soon does he have to feel like he is not
allowed to feel as he holds his hands in the air and hopes
for somewhere real where he can breathe but he can love all
where he will only know her brown eyes he will go down into
the air down where no one cares his name's in a book they
will never read is history such a grand place to be so what
is up to speed a folded flag on knees his boys grow up to be
someone that's too much like me and if it's up to speed he
will get there soon here there i'll be damned
