We used to mock the people on the battlefield,
But now we stand here ourselves.
Because of a feeling grown from greed,
And we stopped walking on eggshells.
We picked up the rope,
That led to the tug of war.
We forgot the love we felt a while ago,
What hassle was this all for?
For our word to be law,
For my opinion to stand.
We lost balance on the see-saw,
Because you wanted to be in command.
We hurt ourselves and others too.
We both won and lost.
We've become real selfish and cruel.
And at what cost?
We made a few lives miserable,
Just to reach our highs.
Like broken glass, they aren't reparable,
And neither are our minds.
What a strong thing power is -
Powerful in itself.
It grows weeds in our hearts,
That only meant well.
And when we are finally forced to the low,
Things would go out of hand.
Our animosity seems to go,
And our greed slips through our fists like sand.
We are not the same anymore.
We've hurt each other too much.
Although we have let go of the rope,
The rope has held on to us.
The good in us is long gone,
For us to start again.
We tried to put out each other's matches,
Now, nothing but darkness remains.
