Firefights in the snow 
And I just thought you should know
That I will never be anything like you
I know it’s not coz you wanted me to
That you crushed the flower that you build 
Draw juice from it until it wilt
And you can say that it’s bloom has faded
Like you say I am bitter and jaded
At thirty three
Watching all the life just leave me 
Like a slow boat to China
You shouldn’t let it define ya
And they had me in hell
For a secret I’ll never tell
I hid out in the activity room
Anything to get away from their bells of doom
And I felt like it was rape
To trap me somewhere I cannot escape
Without my consent
And I don’t know where it went 
But my fire failed me 
Aries in my blood almost derailed me 
As Kathy tries to talk me down
But that ship has sailed three times around
The sea you’re facing 
And it’s defacing 
The walls I know
To paint on them but I had to show 
Something to the prisoners of war
It’s not only them that this is for 
But for legions of youth growing up 
You could call it redemptive love
