Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Easy Street dust in my teeth Market Street sweat in my sleeves Route Michigan Long line of steel Gun trucks humming I white-knuckle the wheel Ramadi dawn Sand in my grin Young and dumb Light Infantrymen Names on helmets Ink on our wrists Write home later If we exist [Chorus] Green eyes killers in the blackout Night vision glow World all washed out Every shadow got a secret Every rooftop breathes If you weren’t there You wouldn’t believe Green eyes killers in the silence Praying soft Moving hard through the violence We ain’t heroes We ain’t saints Just staying alive under all that weight [Verse 2] M240 Bravo sings on the line Brass raining down in a crooked shine Fifty cal thunder from the lead truck’s nest Kick to the shoulder Boot on my chest Raid house doors like a movie scene But there’s kids on couches Dishes in the sink Boot prints smudge on a family floor We leave with questions we can’t ignore [Chorus] Green eyes killers in the blackout Night vision glow World all washed out Every shadow got a secret Every rooftop breathes If you weren’t there You wouldn’t believe Green eyes killers in the silence Praying soft Moving hard through the violence We ain’t heroes We ain’t saints Just staying alive under all that weight [Bridge] Twenty-two palms on a bar top back home (hey) Laugh too loud But we’re never alone See that road in the bottom of the glass Hear that fifty in the fireworks crash [Chorus] Green eyes killers in the blackout Night vision glow World all washed out Every shadow got a secret Every rooftop breathes If you weren’t there You wouldn’t believe Green eyes killers in the silence Praying soft Moving hard through the violence We ain’t heroes We ain’t saints Just staying alive under all that weight

Gritty trap-rock hybrid, male vocals. Low, stalking 808s with sparse kick, dry snare, and distant drone textures. Verses almost spoken, close-mic and tense; chorus explodes with distorted guitars doubling the vocal line and a heavier drum pattern. Subtle radio chatter FX tucked low in the mix; bridge drops to bass and vocal before a final, full-band hit on the last hook., light
