I've Got an Imaginary War

Dreams fall to the floor
You've got nothing left to keep you standing
You're fighting like the world's against you
But there's no present war,
Except the one you carry in arms
And no one can save you

I caught you praying
Thought you were preying
Your eyes mislead me
You're only safe when they look up

Nothing about you is convincing
Your pain is too obvious to hide
Its easy to hit target when everyone's your aim
Think they're all out to get you
But you're your only hazard
Sign's up "Beware"

I caught you praying
Thought you were preying
Your eyes mislead me
You're only safe when they look up

Do you believe the words you say when you pray?
Do you believe in anything He says?
Why keep treading armed, if you always go unharmed?
Put your weapon down darlin'.
Fights over now.
