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 |
