"Water Wars" by Nomaditsu

Building bunkers in my yard
For a coming water brigade
Reinforcing every guard
For battles yet unmade
Spent a fortune on supplies
For drops that might appear
Checking satellites and spies
For splashes drawing near

All this armor that I bear
Against imagined streams
Can't believe how much I care
About these water dreams

Fighting water wars inside my mind
Building fortresses against the tide
Of battles that may never come
Of droplets that may never run
Oh, what a waste of precious time
These water wars inside my mind

Called the navy, called the fleet
For puddles on the ground
Got protection from the heat
Of sprinklers all around
Wrote a thousand-page report
Against a summer splash
Built defenses of all sorts
For no opponents in a match

All these plans that I prepare
For threats that aren't alive
All this time spent in despair
For wars that won't arrive

Fighting water wars inside my mind
Building fortresses against the tide
Of battles that may never come
Of droplets that may never run
Oh, what a waste of precious time
These water wars inside my mind

Look at me now
Preparing for doom
While life passes by
In my panic room

Now it's time to realize
These wars are in my head
Time to open up my eyes
Let go of all this dread
Take this energy I spend
On phantoms in the dark
Use it for what matters when
Real challenges embark

No more water wars inside my mind
No more fortresses against the tide
Of battles that will never come
Of droplets that will never run
I'm done with wasting precious time
On water wars inside my mind

Just a drop of rain
Not a nuclear pain
Time to laugh at me
And my imaginary game
