Veteran of the Psychic Wars

Lyrics

You see me now, a veteran
 Of a thousand psychic wars
 I've been living on the edge so long
 Where the winds of limbo roar
 And I'm young enough to look at
 And far too old to see
 All the scars are on the inside
 I'm not sure if there's anything left of me
 Don't let these shakes go on
 It's time we had a break from it
 It's time we had some leave
 We've been living in the flames
 We've been eating up our brains
 Oh, please, don't let these shakes go on
 You ask me why I'm weary
 Why I can't speak to you
 You blame me for my silence
 Say it's time I changed and grew
 But the war's still going on, dear
 And there's no end that I know
 And I can't say if we're ever-
 I can't say if we're ever gonna be free
 Don't let these shakes go on
 It's time we had a break from it
 It's time we had some leave
 We've been living in the flames
 We've been eating up our brains
 Oh, please, don't let these shakes go on
 ♪
 You see me now, a veteran
 Of a thousand psychic wars
 My energy's spent at last
 And my armor is destroyed
 I have used up all my weapons
 And I'm helpless and bereaved
 Wounds are all I'm made of
 Did I hear you say that this is victory?
 Don't let these shakes go on
 It's time we had a break from it
 
 Send me to the rear
 Where the tides of madness swell
 And been sliding into Hell
 Oh, please, don't let these shakes go on
 Don't let these shakes go on
 Don't let these shakes go on
 
 You see me now, a veteran
