[Verse]
Boots off the ground now
Feet on the floor
No orders
No mission
No war anymore
The silence screams louder than the bombs ever did
Where's the purpose? The fire? The life that I lived?
[Prechorus]
They said I’d be free
But freedom’s a cage
[Chorus]
I was a soldier
Now I’m just a shadow
Honor in my blood but I’m hollow
Civilian streets
They don’t understand
I’m a broken valor
A ghost of a man
[Verse 2]
I wear my scars like a second skin
But this world don’t see the battles within
Salutes and thanks
They fade like smoke
While I choke on words I never spoke
[Prechorus]
They said I’d find peace
But peace is a lie
[Chorus]
I was a soldier
Now I’m just a shadow
Honor in my blood but I’m hollow
Civilian streets
They don’t understand
I’m a broken valor
A ghost of a man
