[Verse 1]
Roll call
They say his name
Silence answers
Nothing the same
Hot tears
Burn down my face
Empty chair
In his old place
[Pre-Chorus]
Photo on the mantel
Dog tags on a chain
We laugh like we're living
But we choke on his name
[Chorus]
One of the 22
But he was our only one
Couldn't take the weight
Of a war that never’s done
Flag on the box
Like it’s holding back the sun
One of the 22
And now he’s gone
He’s gone (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Flag folds
Hands start to shake
Gunshots
Echo and break
Guarding
Gates we can’t see
But hell’s still
Camped out in me
[Pre-Chorus]
He hid it in his laughter
In the lines around his eyes
We missed the loaded questions
Now we’re screaming at the sky
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Damn
I should've called back
Damn
I should've stayed
All his unread messages
Staring from the grave
If you feel that darkness
Crawling in your head
Reach out
Reach out
Don’t believe it when it says
[Chorus]
