Turn it off

Sitting here waiting
Knowing it's coming
Never stopping
When does it come

People are talking
All I hear is voices
I can't understand them
I try not to listen

When are they coming
I know I'll be ready
Ready to stop them
I will never rest

At home now
People still talking
I know the language
But I still don't understand them

They look at me funny
With my white knuckle grip
Wondering if I can sit still
Why does he keep looking around

I watch cause I'm ready
I will not be caught off guard
I know they will come
And I know I will kill them

At home I relax
Well that what you think
My brain does not shut off
I just continue to plan

Where is the exit
Where are my guns
How quick can I get that knife
How quick will we run

I love my country
I am proud to have served
I know that Iraq is a place
My mind will never leave
