Casualty Of Joy

Broken lines Across your face Your sacrifice of saving grace Firm in your station Comfort you barely see Perfection rejected once achieved Never to have Never to hold on to Never to visit the places You're leaving from Oh, casualty of joy A victim of your war Crying while you're happy Smiling beneath the tears Decades of lifetime lost in years Too much peace Too many cruel lies Now the face in the mirror won't meet your eyes Oh, casualty of joy A victim of your war Late at night You keep scrolling through the cyanite The more you like The more you're harvesting the terabytes Broken and bright The screen is screaming for a fight Tonight Oh, casualty of joy A victim of your war
