[Verse]
Sand still in my boots the desert won't leave
A warzone in my head no time to grieve
The mirror cracks it shows my face
But what I see ain't human grace
[Chorus]
They call me a hero but I’m breaking inside
I see a monster that I’m trying to hide
Hero or monster which one am I
The screams in my head they won't let me lie
[Verse 2]
The medals shine but they feel like chains
Blood on my hands that no soap can erase
I’m haunted by shadows that don’t exist
A gun in my dreams a clenched-up fist
[Prechorus]
The cheers sound hollow they cut me deep
I fight the silence I can't even sleep
[Chorus]
They call me a hero but I’m breaking inside
I see a monster that I’m trying to hide
Hero or monster which one am I
The screams in my head they won't let me lie
[Bridge]
I scream to drown the whispers in my brain
I claw at the walls but it’s all in vain
I’m running from the battlefield inside
No one can see where my demons reside
