lyrics

They threw me in battle when those buildings came down
I’ll fight for our freedoms, with that I’m proud
But they don’t give a damn about our mental state
They just fire off the canons and expect you to relate
Now I waste in my room wishing I was never born
One thing they don’t teach you is just how to mourn

I watched you wear bullets and there’s nothing that I found
They taught you in training to muffle those sounds
I watched my bunk mate die in my arms
Nothing I took silenced those alarms
Now I waste in my room with the fill of chloroform
One thing they don’t teach you is the right way to mourn

Now I’m home with no purpose
But a wife and two kids
Two tons of bricks on the top of my head
This bottle of liquor is the only thing warm
One thing they don’t teach you is the right way to mourn

These charges of light sit sharp through my brain
These grains of sand tucked in my veins
I’m reminded every morning of the shrapnel you wore
The sickness of evil and the perils of war
Now I waste in my room wishing I was never born
One thing they don’t teach you is the right way to mourn
Yeah one thing they don’t teach you is just how to mourn
