Tri - Force

"Tri - Force"

Though memory fades with
this storm ridden shore
washed back into the collective
carried out to the bottom of the sea

Come fade with me my love
so twisted are minds that
have never seen outside of the box
and the lines around their feet

Your body can travel from here to tomorrow
over there across the street
and find lightyears under a pillow
yet you forgot to pack your mind to go along

You left it there next to the pills
and your pictures of a storybook princess
instead you carried your blinders
a crown of thorns, and the candy cane whip

But I can't blame you for wanting
what you saw up on the movie screens
or handed to you on your 9th birthday
tied with pretty bows and left under the tree

For I am no prince but a soldier
I ride no white horse but walk alone
in these weathered boots carrying nothing
but a sword and a knife

Nothing ever came easy to us
those who have to fight and claw for our keeps
we are the ones who are hardly remembered
only mentioned in whisper while the princesses sleep

Don't even wait for the we's to come
crawling home to the you's
for once this battle has finished
we move on to the next one then the next

You can find us if you follow
the trail of the dead and broken
run as fast as you can and you
may see the blood drip from our brow

But you'll never catch up
not until you pick up the sword
you cannot hide behind the father
you cannot hide behind his son

For one day they will be
there no longer and you must stand
I will strike down with furious vengeance
and return the venom back into your heart
