Taught War to Turn on Me

 charge my own country with treason 

broke my heart and tied my noose without reason

guess my usage reached completion

trained too well to ever see life as a civilian


all I'm asking is one day of peace

a few minutes of comfort and safety 

one night where my nightmares cease

and to feel like no one is trying to kill me 


answered your war call without hesitation 

come home and taught the pain of incarceration

their post war plan predisposed us to failure

soldiers suicide exposes government as a traitor
