You see me now a veteran, of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living the edge so long, where the winds of limbo roar
and I'm young enough to look up, but 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 livin' in the flames
We've been eatin' out our brains
oh please, don't let these shakes go on

You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't talk to you
You blame me for my silence say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on here and there's nowhere that I know
and I can't stand forever

I can't say if we're ever gonna 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 livin' in the flames
We've been eatin' out our brains
oh please, don't let these shakes go on

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 me weapons, and I'm helpless and berieved
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 men slide into hell
oh please, don't let theses shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
