why do I let you
make me feel this way?

day after day
allowing your gentle invasion
waiting for that phone to ring

and when it doesn't ring
I just cry
or stare into space like now
numb
thinking about you with her

II wonder how long I can continue
to let you trample the fields
and burn campfires in the hollows
of my heart

I wonder if even I have the strength
to once more take up my sword
to again give out the battle cry
to weather
one more war

or will I be paralyzed
by your own paralysis
indecision, weakness, and fear
