the gash

The Flaming Lips

Is that gash in your leg
Really why you have stopped?
ââ?¬Ë?Cause Iââ?¬â?¢ve noticed all the others
Though theyââ?¬â?¢re gashed, theyââ?¬â?¢re still going
ââ?¬Ë?Cause I feel like the real reason
That youââ?¬â?¢re quitting, that youââ?¬â?¢re admitting
That youââ?¬â?¢ve lost all the will to battle on

Will the fight for our sanity
Be the fight of our lives?
Now that weââ?¬â?¢ve lost all the reasons
That we thought that we had

Still the battle that weââ?¬â?¢re in
Rages on till the end
With explosions, wounds are open
Sights and smells, eyes and noses
But the thought that went unspoken
Was understanding that youââ?¬â?¢re broken
Still the last volunteer battles on

Battles on
