The War That Followed Me Home |
| I break down |
| My mind awakes in the wake of hysteria |
| It’s happening again |
| I see your face in the place where I rest my head |
| I only sleep with my eyes wide open |
| I blame myself |
| I shame myself |
| Death from the front lines showing up on my front doorstep |
| You’ll never know the guilt I felt from surviving |
| Or know the love and loss that’s always on repeat |
| I’m just a living casualty |
| I thought I left the fight behind back overseas |
| And maybe I’m denied a full recovery |
| I’ve gone M.I.A |
| I’ll never find me |
| I can’t escape the flashbacks |
| We attacked |
| They shot back |
| The skies turned black |
| I watched my friend take his last breath |
| I set aside my humanity |
| How can I feel when I’ve been trained for apathy? |
| I put my life on the line |
| At what cost? |
| My first kill became the death of me |
| Death of me! |
| Forget everything you’ve known and come to believe |
| Stripped down and torn apart |
| Replace the heart, you are a machine |
| Somewhere I know there’s a soul trapped in between |
| Death from the front lines showing up on my front doorstep |
| You’ll never know the guilt I felt from surviving |
| Or know the love and loss that’s always on repeat |
| I’m just a living casualty |
| I thought I left the fight behind back overseas |
| And maybe I’m denied a full recovery |
| I’ve gone M.I.A |
| I’ll never find me |
| Where do I go from here when the smoke clears and the bodies appear? |
| No time for fear as death rains from the air |
| My knees collapse and I brace for the impact |
| The bloodshed that never ends, the echo that runs through my head |
| It’s a war that followed me home |
| It’s a war that followed me home |
| It’s a war that followed me home! |
| You’ll never know the guilt I felt from surviving |
| Or know the love and loss that’s always on repeat |
| I’m just a living casualty |
| I thought I left the fight behind back overseas |
| And maybe I’m denied a full recovery |
| I’ve gone M.I.A |
| I’ll never find me |
