Lend me your ear for a moment.If I left this war unfought,Would you continue to fight?If I dissipated into nothing,Would you still be consumed of wrath?Maybe I'll leave with your handin my pocket.We'll see if I can make it half waydown that road.Or maybe you could run away withmy hand...The one that welded tightly aroundyour neck.Either way I won't see you again...Keep fighting the war that threwyou to the ground.I'm through,Take your ear away from my face.
