Alone we travel in our minds
Trying to touch and taste
A world we think we'll never find
Look at yourself
And see something else
Fast forward to your failing mental health
Slow decay into oblivion in a one room hell
You pass the days
Memories piled to the ceiling
Mix with the dirt that covers
Your shattered life
Saving the remnants of a solitary life
Except for the secrets playing again and again
Never to reveal the dirty deeds
To those in civilian life
When life was good the days flew by
You wonder why the constant struggle
To make whole what could never be
Flash back to the point that broke you wide open
Consume every hour of every day
You helped pave the way for these free world I say
He paid with his life but he came home alive
I miss the days when life was tame
My lover's voice to soothe the pain
I can't go back
They took my youth
She waved goodbye
I never knew
That life had died aboard that train
I live this war inside my brain
Alone we travel in our minds
Trying to touch or taste
A world we think we'll never find
Flash back to the point that broke you wide open
Consumes every hour of every day
