I'm Chipping Away at this War
Time just about run out on me a dozen times that I could see
But I'm still standing, yeah, I'm sitting here
I shut my mouth, I did my time, I put my body on the line
Another pawn in this war of fear
I'm chipping away, chipping away, I'm chipping away, chipping away
I'm chipping away at this wall in front of me
I'm chipping away, chipping away, I'm chipping away, chipping away,
I'm chipping away at this wall
My feet are tired, my hands don't work
My mind's a mess, my body hurts
But I'm still standing, now I'm standing here
There's so much to be sorry for, I've seen enough for a hundred wars
But I've seen nothing to justify my being there
I'm chippin away, chipping away, I'm chipping away, chipping away
I'm chipping away at this war inside of me
I'm chipping away, chipping away, I'm chipping away, chipping away,
I'm chipping away at this war
I'm a soldier, I'm a killer
And I'll carry that with me all the way home
Yeah, time just about run out on me but time won't erase memories
Of all the faces in my dreams
And every time that I get scared I curse the men who sent me there
Who never saw the things I've seen
I'm chippin away, chipping away, I'm chipping away, chipping away
I'm chipping away at this war inside of me
I'm chipping away, chipping away, I'm chipping away, chipping away,
I'm chipping away at this war…
