Shadows in the jungle

[Verse 1]
Got the letter in the mail no warning no sound
Just a number on a page said my time had come around
Eighteen and green didn’t know the first thing about war
Now I’m knee-deep in mud hearing screams I can’t ignore

[Prechorus]
They said it’s for freedom for peace for the stars
But I’m just a pawn in a game played too far

[Chorus]
Take me home take me home
This jungle’s eating me alive
I see shadows in the trees
Where enemies run free
I feel I'm running out of time

Take me home take me home
My mind wants to escape inside
But There's no place to run
There's no place to hide
The shadows in the jungle come out tonight

[Verse 2]
The jungle hums death whispers in the breeze
Every shadow looks like the enemy’s teeth
Friends fall like leaves no time to cry
Load the clip aim shoot don’t ask why

[Prechorus]
Smoke in my lungs blood on my hands
What’s left of me won’t understand

[Chorus]
Take me home take me home
This jungle’s eating me alive
I see shadows in the trees
Where enemies run free
I feel I'm running out of time

Take me home take me home
My mind wants to escape inside
But There's no place to run
There's no place to hide
The shadows in the jungle come out tonight

[Final Chorus]
Take me home take me home
This jungle’s eating me alive
I see shadows in the trees
Where enemies run free
I feel I'm running out of time

Take me home take me home
My mind wants to escape inside
But There's no place to run
There's no place to hide
The shadows in the jungle come out tonight
