To A Buddy At War

If you could see me now
You would probably ask me the same questions
"What the fuck have you done?" and "Why?"

But it's better unsaid
It's unimportant
Because to me
Yeah it makes no difference

A distant wall
Far from here
A shadow of a young man with a gun

Can't see his eyes
It's not a stranger this time
This time it's someone that we once called friend

And I hope you know
That I always thought of you as an ally

I'd rather have a conversation
Just a convoluted explanation

A distant wall
Far from here
A shadow of a young man with a gun

Can't see his eyes
It's not a stranger this time
And I'm sorry that I never said goodbye

I can see us now
Naive kids walking home from school
What were we supposed to do?
