about

a song about a man who suffers from ptsd from fighting in a war.

lyrics

laid down my baton and my vest in the leaves and looked around and found i couldn't shake thoughts of impending doom. life now must go on for long-suffering-me but i don't have a reason not to go to sleep in the afternoon. adrenaline still drives the blood from my heart. i'm breathless and scared, but now i've been thrust into neutral colors and i can no longer bare the perils of life and its mundanity. how difficult to be in a place where everything's safe and warm.
i can walk to the store. i can walk down the street, but i can't traverse the path to accepting that this who i am and no worse.
so play me the taps and just put me to sleep cuz i just wasn't meant for life outside of the killing field.
