Being a man I’m a soldier I’m a soldier, I’m a soldier (When times get hard, I’m who they call) I’m a soldier (I’m the one who they call when the times get hard) When my backs against the wall I don’t break and I won’t fall I’m a soldier (I go to war for my dogs) I’m a soldier, I’m a soldier I’m a soldier (I’m a give you my all just don’t break my heart) I’m a soldier I’m a soldier I’m a soldier [CHORUS] Dax: Battling feelings I can’t even show weight of the world on my shoulders is crushing me people around me they don’t even know we I put on this cape, then go save everybody while I’m being shattered and all of my bones take on the pressure of being the hero who saves but has no one help with his own Demons inside that try to eat him alive I’m going insane and when I’m out my mind I look at stars and talk to God in the sky I wait on his words, but I don’t get a reply. I try to refrain from diving deep, so I hold back tears that try to come out my eyes in this world as a man where we know we can’t cry cause the people we love look in us to confide so I’m Silently screaming for help. Life is a battle inside of these trenches, especially when fighting it all by yourself PTSD from the memories people who left you for dead, and then drag you through hell leaving you shocked deep inside of a shell with stories you hate but nobody to tell while you question God if your soul you should sell. [CHORUS] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you made it this deep you are a real one.
