A Bloodless Casualty

The walking wounded reach the other side
They get to tell their story
But no one speaks when injuries are inside your mind
I guess I’ll have to live without the glory
She’s finally learning
Something concerning
The secrets of a bloodless casualty
There’s sympathy when skin reveals a scar
That is to be expected
They’ll never send a tear when voices change the way you are
We have to wait until we’re resurrected
She’s finally learning
Something concerning
The secrets of a bloodless casualty
Talk of times so glorified
Like medals they award
Beyond my understanding
Those who fly are vilified until they hit the floor
Now I think its time to make my landing
She’s finally learning
Something concerning
The troubles of a bloodless casualty
She’s finally learning
Something concerning
The secrets of a bloodless casualty
