Invasion
A knock on my conscious wall
Then a bang in my heart
Brick by brick I've built this future
Brick by brick you tear it apart.
Your pounding boots cross my mind
Dragging my hope across the floor
The mud of meaning is on your sole
And leaves its mark in every sore.
My heart is turned to ocean water
Black and blue like a bruise
I struggle against its waves
While I wait for you to choose
There's nothing worse than knowing
The way in which this will end
And if I could live it all over
I promise, I would never do it again.
