Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boots sink deep in the dirt
Name tag shining on a borrowed shirt
Got orders printed in a language of codes
"Advance, engage" down these broken roads
Smoke writes questions in the air
Who drew lines, why are we here?
Sergeant barking like a prayer gone wrong
"Keep your head down, kid, move along"
[Chorus]
I’m fighting in a war I don’t believe in
Pulled the pin, now I’m stuck in the middle
Every blast just drowns out the reason
All I hear is metal and the riddle
I don’t understand what I’m bleeding for
But I’m still running into the roar
Yeah, I’m a soldier in a battle I don’t understand
[Verse 2]
Face down photos in my vest
Little sister with paint on her dress
Mom’s last letter folded by my heart
"Come back safe," yeah, but where do I start?
Radio static, someone screams
We trade fire like we’re trading dreams
Target marked, but their eyes look scared
Just like mine, just like they never prepared
[Chorus]
I’m fighting in a war I don’t believe in
Pulled the pin, now I’m stuck in the middle
Every blast just drowns out the reason
All I hear is metal and the riddle
I don’t understand what I’m bleeding for
But I’m still running into the roar
Yeah, I’m a soldier in a battle I don’t understand
[Bridge]
Who pressed start on this?
Who cashes in on this?
We’re just names on a list
Shoved into the abyss
If I make it home, will I
Leave this ghost behind?
Or carry every silent why
Like shrapnel in my mind? (oh)
[Chorus]
I’m fighting in a war I don’t believe in
Pulled the pin, now I’m stuck in the middle
Every blast just drowns out the reason
All I hear is metal and the riddle
I don’t understand what I’m bleeding for
But I’m still running into the roar
Yeah, I’m a soldier in a battle I don’t understand
Just a soldier in a battle I don’t understand

Style
rap, Aggressive rap-rock hybrid with male vocals: palm-muted guitars over a stomping halftime groove, then explode into wide-open power chords on the hook. Verses spit tight, rhythmic bars with sharp snare cracks; chorus leans into shouted gang vocals and strained melody. Sub-bass doubles the kick for weight, feedback swells before each section, and a short, dissonant guitar lead screams into the final chorus for maximum catharsis., rock
