[Intro]
Dusty boots on a worn-out floor
Silent soldier's heart on a closed door
Echoes of the past, shadows in the haze
Feeling lost in a never-ending maze
[Verse 1]
Born in fields where the tall grass swayed
Lived the story till the officer's parade
Draped in duty, held my ground
Now I face the silent sound
Of a life that’s changed and rearranged
Fighting battles that can’t be named
Remembering the fights that I’ve fought alone
A veteran’s heart, etched in stone
[Pre-Chorus]
Every dawn, I wake and strive
Pretending I’m alright inside
Worn out, tired, feeling small
Waiting for a light to break the Wall
[Chorus]
Locked inside a box I built myself
Memories like stories on a shelf
Looking for a reason to believe
Lost in shadows, trying to breathe
It’s a fight just to stay afloat
In a world that feels remote
Searching for a dawn to break
A new life I can’t forsake
[Verse 2]
Climbing through a corporate haze
Counting hours in a dull malaise
Everyone’s expectations high
While I’m just trying not to cry
Working more, earning less
Dealing with the endless stress
Behind a smile, a hidden crack
Hoping someday I won’t turn back
[Pre-Chorus]
Every evening ends the same
Fading hopes, a shallow game
Tired eyes, a hollow stare
Trying hard just to care
[Chorus]
Locked inside a box I built myself
Memories like stories on a shelf
Looking for a reason to believe
Lost in shadows, trying to breathe
It’s a fight just to stay afloat
In a world that feels remote
Searching for a dawn to break
A new life I can’t forsake
[Bridge]
Is there hope beyond this wall?
Will I rise or will I fall?
Seeking peace in a restless mind
Looking for a sign, a sign
[Outro]
One day I’ll break free from the chain
Find the sunshine after rain
Till then I hold my pain inside
A soldier’s spirit can’t hide
