[00:37.49]When my backs against the wall I don't break and I won't fall [00:40.80]I'm a soldier [00:44.47]I know how it feels to be caught in the rain going to war in your brain [00:47.93]When

feelings [00:53.98]And push them away [00:54.89]It's too hard trying to mix it all with the pain I'm drinking to cool off [00:57.35]And it's all in my veins [00:58.26]I'm making these new songs to move on [00:59.55]And restrain from grabbing a sawed off [01:00.84]And going to cock it and aim [01:01.92]At these nuanced influenced people [01:02.99]Who shame the role that a man has to play as a husband a father a brother a son [01:06.60]Who is serve 'n' protecting his families name [01:08.65]They laugh in your face when you try to explain or express [01:11.31]Then tell you they love you without any loyalty patience or basic respect then expect [01:14.79]You to smile every day while it eats at your mind and your soul [01:17.28]And your flesh and you work and you wither away till the day that you can't and you're broken andnothing is left and you're old and you can't even [01:22.06]I'm a soldier [01:25.19]I'm a soldier I'm a soldier [01:26.28]When times get hard I'm who they call

[03:18.48]I put on this cape then go save everybody while I'm being shattered [03:20.86]And all of my bones take on the pressure [03:22.63]Of being the hero who saves [03:23.90]But has no one help with his own [03:25.34]Demons inside that try to eat him alive [03:26.97]I'm going insane and when I'm out my mind [03:28.50]I look at stars and talk to God in the sky [03:30.37]I wait on his words

[03:37.51]Cause the people we love [03:38.24]Look in us to confide so I'm [03:40.07]Silently screaming for help [03:41.51]Life is a battle inside of these trenches especially when fighting it all by yourself [03:44.97]PTSD from the memories people who left you for dead [03:47.59]And then drag you through hell [03:48.56]Leaving you shocked deep inside of a shell with stories you hate but nobody to
