Soldier


It breaks my heart you've fallen so deep Bought off a counter you're theirs to keep Programed and molded you do what your told If only a defect had made you worthless to fold Stolen from me they took you I'm alone Left here to wonder if your ever coming home You say you'll be fine with aim so precise But all they see is a target a field full of mice I try to remember the smell of your skin The taste of your lips the feeling within The day has come men knocking on my door I can't breath my heart aches they say your no more Once upon a time you were minted supreme Now all I have left of you is placed in a dream
