Eternal War from The End by Viewfinder

I never wanted to fight you in the eternal war
I already battled with the barking dogs next door
Their teeth were sharper than the mind of the sage
Who sits atop the mountain counting down the days until I'm older

I never wanted to know you as the weight upon my scale
Skewing balance, making trains of thought derail
There's a painted portrait of a man in brown and green
He's fighting phantoms, and he looks just like me, but I'm no soldier

When you hear this, please disregard
Once evening hits, I'll still stand guard
Can't let these termites hollow out these beams
You never fabricate the faces in your dreams...

You never had an answer to that fabled inquiry
You just stood and stuttered at your voided victory
But what's the sense in ever showing who you are?
There's nothing left but ever present battle scars. Red reminders.

I always thought someday I'd see the truth
I'd put an end to these recurring dreams of youth
But still I'm wandering the hallways of the past
