Soldier

Lyrics

No chance, I'll pretend that when I pick up the pen All the times that I fall down will make sense again But it seems if you leave, all my thoughts won't be deceived Though I'd rather live a life structured, forever received Than pronounce my morals while questioning both our intentions I've pondered about my life so many times don't even mention That I've changed myself, stuck with lies, why should I run if I can't hide? My life fades from under me and I drown myself in cyanide I wish that I could go back, change all that I need If there's a chance in Hell my offer would be well received I hope maybe you can change your mind and speak from what's inside Forgetting all the times when I very nearly cried They don't matter anymore, it's about the future now It's time I picked myself right up and wiped the sweat from my brow Meanwhile, I'll tell myself to find a way to ease my mind And try not to be the soldier that's falling behind the line And so I said could you take me, could you take me away? I'm falling down, I'm falling down I said could you take me, could you take me away? I'm falling down, I'm falling down Honestly, emotions are fleeting, all hope withdrawn All battles are ended, all prayers are called upon If I decided I was strong enough to try again, I don't know if what we had would pull through just now and then I need a newsflash, nothing good lasts forever But at least I know that there will be a clear in the weather If whatever was left had left a mark on your soul, you'd think I'd know you well enough so that I'd be able to know But I'm done with these love songs, I'm only hurting Guess now the Tool can go back to his erratic flirting But he knows that deep down, she'll always be in his heart Though he's said that so many times it's torn his spirit apart But he's a soldier and nothing can ever take that away From love, from hate, from just a regular day - so he'll wait And trudge through his days until they're gone Even though, secretly, he'll still be holding on And so I said could you take me, could you take me away? I'm falling down, I'm falling down I said could you take me, could you take me away? I'm falling down, I'm falling down One more time I'll say goodbye, though my heart just won't lie No more frustrations, hesitations, it's my life on the line Keeping my eye on the ball, why take just one more fall when everything I ever wanted was in me after all? Nothing left to adore, my heart is beating out of time, gotta take hold of my life before I go out of my mind What would any soldier do - sit back and waste away while all Hell's breaking loose, or would he go and save the day? The darkness has risen, released from my prison Though I can't really say that this looks much like my vision You're not part of what I wanted to accomplish though I cared for you Sometimes you love because but sometimes you love in spite But you decided to ignore me, of course I followed suit Now I'm beginning to regret all of the things I've done to you I've realized that I've missed you, but it's probably been too long But it's worse now that I realize it's my fault all along And so I said could you take me, could you take me away? I'm falling down, I'm falling down I said could you take me, could you take me away? I'm falling down, I'm falling down Could you take me, could you take me away? Could you take me, could you take me away? Could you take me, could you take me away? Could you take me, could you take me away? I've battled demons and monsters since the day I was born From deadly sins, to a sphinx, to a woman scorned And with every challenge I've faced, I've grown older I'll move mountains and boulders because I'm a soldier I'm the type of guy who takes beatings with two open arms And who would die before he ever dared to cry And with every challenge I've faced, I've grown older I'll move mountains and boulders because I'm a soldier
