You don't work here anymore.
You need to move on and trust the war.
It keeps you fed, it helps the poor.
There's only one thing to cry for.

The dead are gone
The young are strong
We'll wait till dawn
We're never wrong.

Trust us now
We can't allow
Just take this vow
You're right till now.

I've noticed a few of the lines in your latest pieces sound like MCR lines... ("You don't work here anymore" - Cubicles, "Count your face with the living" - Early Sunsets Over Monroeville...) Is this intentional?
