Where The Darkest Is

Don't count me out yet
I'm still in the trenches
And not on the field
My guns aren't fired
Just in self-defence

I crawled all the way here
Through the mud
And the mines
Every one exploded
Every time it made me jump,
and got me tense

Don't let me go just yet
I still have battle rage to wield
I've been where the darkest is
But I'm sure it can get worse
I can get worse

Why not let me do what everyone else does
Let me be until my angst kills me
Until everything blows up and runs out
Until I can't protect myself anymore
And the final shot is misdirected

Don't put me in that state
Before time runs out
Let me have my time

Don't count me out just yet
