Slow Decay

Stand down son
Start resting easy
You’ve done your service
I am proud you home and see you safe
It's so good
You look so strong
In that picture on the mantle
You sent your mom when you were gone
But you look scared now
Hollow eyed
When are you coming?
Back where you belong
I swear that it’s safe here
There’s nothing to fear at all
Come on back
Where you belong
The pressure releases
If you just let down your guard
Everything rests on you
You know that feeling well
The ball is falling, falling, falling
So far
From a close call
Your injuries aren't mortal wounds
The only thing that’s killing you
Is what you saw
And what you couldn’t stop
Well, you’re not the one I blame
It wasn’t your mistake
But you're safe now so come home
Back where you belong
I swear that it’s safe here
There’s nothing to fear at all
Come on back
Where you belong
The pressure releases
If you just let down your guard
It’s the simple things Dad
I’m not hurt I'm not dead
I just should be
Where my friends are lying
And I didn’t hate
Those that I killed
But they're all dead now
And I’m hear alive
With sattelites
And Friday nights
And no one to judge me
Or the things that I’ve done at all
So how could I live with that?
Back where I belong
Take me back where I belong
You swear that it’s safe here
There’s nothing to fear at all
Take me
Back where I belong
The pressure releases
If I just let down my guard
