VERSE 1
They shook my hand
Said "Thank you, son"
But they weren't there
When the shit got done
When the dust kicked up
And the nights went long
When the radio cracked
With the last man's song
Came back to town
But not to myself
Left too much life
Fighting someone else's hell
There's a war in my head
No one can see
'Cause the fight kept goin'
Long after they need me
⸻
CHORUS
They say "You made it back"
Like that makes it right
But home hits different
When you lose the fight
I walk these rooms
Like I'm built of stone
We might be home now
But we can't come home
⸻
VERSE 2
Fire on the mountain
Ain't the kind you brag
It's the kind that takes
What you can't get back
Hiked that ridge
With a twenty—pound fear
Watched a good man fall
And I still hear him here
And the nurse on nights
With a ghost in her shift
Prayin' her hands
Don't forget how to lift
And the medics stained
By the things they've seen
Tryin' to wash off hell
With a cold canteen
⸻
CHORUS
They say "You made it back"
Like that makes it right
But home hits different
When you lose the fight
I walk these rooms
Like I'm built of stone
We might be home now
But we can't come home
⸻
BRIDGE
You don't outrun fire
You don't outrun war
Some things follow
Right through the door
Some things stay
When the lights go low
Some things heal
