What are the poetic devices in John Mayer's song Belief?

I%26#039;m doing a project and am desperate...I already got the metaphor.





Is there anyone who


Ever remembers


Changing their mind from


The paint on a sign


Is there anyone who


Really recalls


Ever breaking rank at all


For something someone yelled real loud one time





Oh everyone believes


In how they think it oughta be


Oh everyone believes


And they鈥檙e not going easy





Belief is a beautiful armor


But makes for the heaviest sword


Like punching underwater


You never can hit who you trying for


Some need the exhibition


Some have to know their trying


It鈥檚 the chemical weapon for the war


That鈥檚 raging on inside





Oh everyone believes


From emptiness to everything


Oh everyone believes


No one鈥檚 going quietly





We鈥檙e never gonna win the world


We鈥檙e never gonna stop the war


We鈥檙e never gonna beat this is


If belief is what we鈥檙e fighting for


We鈥檙e never gonna win the world


We鈥檙e never gonna stop the war


We鈥檙e never gonna beat this is


If belief is what we鈥檙e fighting for





Is there anyone who


Can remember


Ever surrendering


With their life on the line





What puts a hundred thousand children in the sand?


Belief can


Belief can


What puts a folded flag inside his mother鈥檚 hands?


Belief can


Belief can|||Repetition
