[Verse]
Mud on my boots blood on my hands
Shadows crawl where memory stands
Can't shake the screams can't find the man
Gunfire's ghost still pounds my head
A thousand nights I died instead
But the war won't leave when the war is dead
[Chorus]
Battle scars within battle scars within
Fighting wars I can't ever win
Battle scars within battle scars within
Where do I end where do they begin
[Verse 2]
Whiskey burns but it won't erase
The names carved deep across my face
Echoes of a time I can't replace
I left my brothers in the sand
But their voices pull me back again
I lost them all but I lost myself back then
[Prechorus]
No sleep no peace
No escape release
