Bullets.

I feel the poison-dipped arrows aiming at me
But only want to help the ones behind the bows I see
If you asked me the question, I'd say that I'll fix everything
Nobody hurts me, but I hurt myself with what they're feeling

It's breaking my heart as I walk away
But I've gotta leave those problems for another day
And here we all are now under the rain
Hoping maybe it'll wash out all of the pain

I changed my prayers about who I could keep
To "Let me follow You Lord, no matter how deep.
"Don't let me wander like a lost sheep."
Then I listen to songs that tell me to sleep

Why does my sympathy shoot me through the heart?
It's like You've given me all these feelings, and I don't know where to start
'Cause maybe this archer is falling apart
And maybe that one's sleep is way off the chart

It's breaking my heart as I walk away
But I've gotta leave those problems for another day
And here we all are now under the rain
Hoping maybe it'll wash out all of the pain

Lately I've been thinking about that baseball game
And once again the poem goes nowhere, just keeping myself sane
But that night's taking up a crazy amount of space
And the details of the memory are played out in my brain

Let's take a van of teenagers out to the baseball field
Their lives are all over the place, they only need a shield
To save them from the monsters and all of the things they feel
They don't know what they're doing, and I don't know if it's real

I can hear the heartbreak as though it were a sound
I look into the past now, and I start to count
One, two, three, most of them were just breaking down
In a war that simply started and isn't over now

It's breaking my heart as I walk away
But I've gotta leave those problems for another day
And here we all are now under the rain
Hoping it'll maybe wash out all wash out all the pain
If I could, I would take the bullets from your brain
I would clean off all the blood, even if we're not the same
But I'm leaving that to Him as I pray and I pray
And I'll give you a hug because we'll be okay
