Lyrics

[Verse 1]

(Soldier)

Boots hang over the guardrail

Dog tags cold on my tongue

City hum like a far-off war

And my hands feel too young

One more step from the silence

One more breath from the fall

Pulled the pin on my own heartbeat

Yeah

I'm done with it all

[Verse 2]

(Ghost)

You still taste dust from that valley

See my blood on your sleeve

You keep stitching up old nightmares

With a thread made of grief

I hear you curse my picture

Shoved face-down in a drawer

You think leaving is surrender

But you've fought this before (hey)

[Chorus]

(Soldier & Ghost)

Get your hand

Off the trigger line

You ain't done

You ain’t out of time

Every scar on your shaking skin

Is a map that can lead you back in

You can hate me

You can scream my name

But don't throw

All our hurt away

If you fall from this rusted rail tonight

You just pass me your pain in the light

[Verse 3]

(Soldier)

You left pieces in my helmet

Letters burned in my fist

You were twenty in that photo

I'm still stuck in that ditch

Sometimes I drive past your mother’s

Park two blocks down the street

Can't look her in the window

With your boots on my feet

[Bridge]

(Ghost)

I never asked you to carry

Every ghost in that squad

You are more than your bad decisions

You are more than the shots

Drop the weight

Let it hit concrete

Let the echo be mine

If you go

They lose you twice

First to war

Then tonight

(Soldier)

Then why does every mirror

Look like a rifle sight?

[Chorus]

(Soldier & Ghost)

Get your hand

Off the trigger line

You ain’t wrong

For wanting to hide

But that ache in your chest like a drum

Means there's still one more breath yet to come

You can hate me

You can curse the sky

But don't trade

All your love to die

If you step from this rusted rail tonight

You just paint all their mornings in night

[Outro]

(Ghost)

Call your brother from this parking lot

Tell your dad you made it home

Tell that girl you lost on purpose

You were scared to be known

(Soldier)

I slide back from the edge a bit

Drop the round to the ground

(Ghost)

I was never your reason to die

I’m the reason you stick around (oh)
