Tick - I Declare War

It started out years ago

Long before he ever fucking knew

The mind slows brought on with age

It breaks you down, it rips you to shreds

Tired eyes, a broken man

Thoughts blur with a fucked up head

Dead tired he feels like a slave

Constantly battling with his own head

Loss of words you can’t stand straight

The sickness is spreading to his brain

This hard working man

A father, bread winner

Stricken with his pain

No cure for his disease

It’s digging its way in

It burrows like a tick

Everyone around him sees it

He think he’s doing fine

Mood swings control him now

He screams, wishing he could die

Mood swings control him now

He screams, wishing he could die

Violent outburst, he can barely stand

This once strong man, is now a boy again

He now screams all day

Every fucking night

Kicking and screaming

No cure in sight

He lays and waits to die
