Despite The Casualties Lyrics

Despite The Casualties lyrics

Sometimes I feel so helpless

Like nothing matters

Like everything I've said or done

Or written down in countless notebooks means next to nothing

Trying to escape four brick walls

Miles high with nothing

Nothing but my words

There is no door

No window to open up, let fresh air in

Nothing but stagnation

And this overwhelming urge

That somethings got to break or burn or give way

And this is where I'm stuck

I could write volumes about this

And never once convey the way it feels

Like looking through a wheelchair 

Into the eyes of a soldier

That never wanted to leave home

I can't begin to know the way he feels

I can't fathom the frustration in his bones

That can't support his own weight

He gave it all

Could you say the same could I (could you)

But it doesn't for one second mean that I'm gonna lie here

Surrounded

By these set in stone misconceptions

I'll start digging or clawing

At the bricks and mortar

Because I know

One day the bricks will shift

And the mortar will crumble

Nothing in this world lasts forever
