(Verse 1)
Got medals on my chest, got ghosts inside my head
Pourin' cheap-ass whiskey for the brothers lyin' dead
They call me a hero, pin a ribbon on my pain
Don't they see I'm just an animal locked up in this cage?
Even my own family's scared of the man I've become
"Son, you've changed," they whisper, like they know where I've been from
Yeah, I fucking changed! While you were watching cable news
I was busy countin' brothers I was born to lose!
(Pre-Chorus - tempo builds slightly, more intensity in vocals)
Don't talk to me about normal, don't talk to me about peace
'Cause every damn sunrise is just another disease!
(Chorus - explosive, vocals become a powerful, melodic roar)
Take me back to the desert, to the dust and the heat!
Where the enemy was clear and the lies weren't so sweet!
'Cause here I'm a monster, a problem you can't face
But out there in the chaos, I had a goddamn place!
This life's a slow-burn suicide, a promise full of dread
I'd rather dance with the devil than the voices in my head!
(Verse 2)
They used to swell with pride, now they flinch when I speak
Think a bottle full of pills is gonna make a strong man weak
You can't medicate the memory of the blood on the sand
Or the feeling of your best friend dying right there in your hand
My brother calls me crazy, says I need to let it go
What the hell does he know?! Put him in that goddamn show!
Let him hold a dying soldier, watch the light leave his eyes
And then come back and preach to me with all his pretty lies!
(Pre-Chorus - building again, angrier this time)
Don't talk to me about healing, don't tell me to be strong
You weren't there in the firefight where everything went wrong!
(Chorus - even more powerful and desperate)
Take me back to the desert, to the dust and the heat!
Where the enemy was clear and the lies weren't so sweet!
'Cause here I'm a monster, a problem you can't face
But out there in the chaos, I had a goddamn place!
This life's a slow-burn suicide, a promise full of dread
I'd rather dance with the devil than the voices in my head!
(Bridge - tempo slows, music becomes more atmospheric, almost haunting. Vocals are clean but strained, full of pain)
They say "Leave it in the past," like a switch you can just flip
But how do I leave the only family I ever got a grip on?
They died for this country... and now I'm dying in it.
This world is a war...
This whole life is a war...
WHAT THE FUCK WAS IT FOR?!
(Guitar Solo - melodic yet aggressive, full of emotion and technical skill, leading back into the final chorus)
(Final Chorus - vocals at their absolute peak, raw and breaking with emotion, drums pounding)
Take me back to the desert where my brothers still stand!
Let me feel that rifle one more time in my hand!
Here I'm just a monster, but out there I had a grace!
I would face ANY devil...
Just to get out of this place!
GET ME OUT OF MY HEAD!
(Outro - music crashes into a heavy, slow, breakdown riff. Vocalist roars "OUT OF MY HEAD!" one last time. The riff chugs and fades out slowly.)
