lyrics

Couldn’t feel my fingers feel my toes
and the shrapnel’s left me full of holes
clothes torn apart with chest exposed
in the seething rain my heart corrodes

and I can’t win, win this war
when braver men than me have fought and lost before
and if I win, win this war
then braver men than me have fought and lost before

and the blast lifted me off my feet
into the outstretched arms of recovery
and there’s still fragments buried deep into bone
and for every scar a stories told

but I can’t win, win this war
when braver men than me have fought and lost before
and if I win, win this war
then braver men than me have fought and lost before
Take aim and smile

we’ll wash away thoughts of you never far
away like a winters breath but never too far
and you layer your hands on me
there’s a feeling we could hope for posterity
sometimes the only way is to pull down the sky
and burn everything you know to the ground it’s the only way to start again
Take aim and smile
