You see me now a veteran
of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long

where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
and far too old to see

All the scars are on the inside

I'm not sure that there's

anything left of me
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it

It's time we had some leave

We've been living in the flames

We've been eating up our brains
Oh please don't let theses shakes go on


You ask me why I'm weary
why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence

say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on dear
and there's no end that I know

And I can't say if we're ever

I can't say if we're

ever gonna to be free
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it

It's time we had some leave

We've been living in the flames

We've been eating out our brains
Oh please don't let theses shakes go on


(instrumental)

You see me now a veteran

of a thousand psychic wars
My energy's spent at last
and my armor is destroyed

I have used up all my weapons
and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of


Did I hear you say
that this is victory?

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear


Where the tides of madness swell
and been sliding into hell

Oh please don't let shakes go on

Don't let these shakes go on

Don't let these shakes go on
