Slow Decay |
Stand down son, start resting easy |
You’ve done your service, i am proud to have you home and see you safe, |
it’s so good |
You look so strong in that picture on the mantle you sent your mom when you |
were gone |
But you look scared now, hollow eyed |
When are you coming |
When are you coming back where you belong |
I swear that it’s safe here, there’s nothing to fear at all |
Come on back where you belong, the pressure releases if you just let down your |
guard |
Everything rests on you |
You know that feeling well, the ball is falling, |
Falling, falling, so far from a close call |
Your injuries aren’t mortal wounds, |
The only thing that’s killing you is what you saw, |
What you couldn’t stop |
But you’re not the one i blame, it wasn’t your mistake |
You’re safe now so come on back where you belong |
I swear that it’s safe here, there’s nothing to fear at all |
Come on back where you belong, |
The pressure releases if you just let down your guard |
It’s the simple things dad, i’m not hurt, i’m not dead, |
I just should be where my friends are lying |
And i didn’t hate those that i killed but they’re all dead now |
But i’m here alive with satellites and friday nights |
And no one to judge me for the things that i’ve done and all |
So how can i live with that? |
Back where i belong |
Take me back where i belong, you swear that it’s safe here |
Theres nothing to fear at all |
Take me back where i belong, the pressure releases |
I just let down my guard |
