Soldiers are stomping around inside my head
Feeling like I am dead
Knocks on the door, I’ll pretend like no one’s home
I want to be left alone
Ticking and tocking, the clocks are facing me
Yelling it is near three
But I won’t move, soldiers dancing in my mind
They can’t even keep time
Quick step, fox trot, misstep, I’m gone
Drift away, don’t let them take control
Hold on, hold on
This too shall pass, too shall
Hold on, hold on
This too shall pass
Wars in my head, fighting, freeing up my dreams
But nothing is as it seems
Their dance marches on, I can’t keep my thoughts the same
Can’t even say my name
Waltzing, hip hop, I wish they’d stop
Drift away, don’t let them take control
Hold on, hold on
This too shall pass, too shall
Hold on, hold on
This too shall pass
They have stopped dancing around inside my brain
But everything still feels the same
When they were there, I forgot I was alone
I wish they would come home
Soldiers dance on, soldiers they’re gone
