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
