Endless Night Lyrics
Is it a sin
To miss the hell
That you survived
With best of friends
At worst of times
I never got the answer
They never told me
If you're not careful
What doesn't kill you
Can control you
Now it defines me
And it reminds me
That it will never let me go
If we share the pain
Then maybe we won't have to bury memories away
And I try to change
But the dawn escapes again
I fight another endless night
When it gets dark
I cannot breathe
It's only the sound
Of grinding teeth
Afraid of the silence
And it's lurking violence
Your empty words
The feigned concerned
We go through the motions
I never return
'Cause this still defines me
And it reminds me
That we'll never let me go
If we share the pain
Then maybe we won't have to bury memories away
And I try to change
But the dawn escapes again
I fight another endless night
I try to change
But the dawn escapes again
I fight another endless night
I try to change
But the dawn escapes again
I fight another endless night
Is it a sin
To miss the hell
That you survived
With best of friends
At worst of times
I fight another endless night
I try to change
But the dawn escapes again
I fight another endless night
When it gets dark
I cannot breathe
It's only the sound
Of grinding teeth
Afraid of the silence
I fight another endless night
To miss the hell
That you survived
With best of friends
I never got the answer
If you're not careful
What doesn't kill you
Can control you
Now it defines me
And it reminds me
That it will never let me go
Then maybe we won't have to bury memories away
But the dawn escapes again
I fight another endless night
I cannot breathe
It's only the sound
Of grinding teeth
And it's lurking violence
The feigned concerned
We go through the motions
I never return
'Cause this still defines me
And it reminds me
That we'll never let me go
Then maybe we won't have to bury memories away
But the dawn escapes again
I fight another endless night
But the dawn escapes again
I fight another endless night
But the dawn escapes again
I fight another endless night
To miss the hell
That you survived
With best of friends
I fight another endless night
But the dawn escapes again
I fight another endless night
I cannot breathe
It's only the sound
Of grinding teeth
I fight another endless night

It seems this is about troops surviving combat and returning home with PTSD.
"Is it a sin to miss the hell that you survived with best of friends," definitely is about the brotherhood that we in the military share and the events we endure together forge lifelong friendships.
"What doesn't kill you can control you," seems to refer to surviving traumatic events or survivors guilt of losing a brother in battle.
"Now it defines me and it reminds me hat it will never let me go," is how PTSD unfortunately controls your life and no matter how hard you try to overcome it.
"I try to change but the dawn escapes again I fight another endless night," I have two friends with combat related PTSD and they say it's a struggle to continue to live. That it takes a very powerful person to continue living. Even with through going to constant therapy and support groups, it so sadly defines and takes a lot of humanity away from a person.
With that said, if anyone is struggling with PTSD, depression or suicidal thoughts even with any kind of event. Doesn't have to be dramatic as combat, please reach out and seek help and I highly encourage anyone to go to therapy. This is the suicide prevention hotline 1-800-273-8255.
Stay metal friends <3
