A Soldier Returns

A soldier comes back from the war. He's standing outside a locked door,
but it's just a metaphor, so easily discarded.
But what if that door was a heart?
Should he break in or quit from the start?
Or should he stand there, one with the air, faltering without direction.

Just take his eyes so he doesn't see the world through your lies.
And take his ears, so he can't hear the promise you vowed to break,
the stand that you'll never take.

Regretting he ever came home, just shadows where once he had known.
From things left undone, there's nowhere to run, just memories forsaken,
a dream he has awakened.

Just take his eyes so he doesn't see the world through your lies.
And take his ears, so he can't hear the promise you vowed to break,
the stand that you'll never take.

“You came back, heart in your hand. You came back.”

Just take his eyes so he doesn't see the world through your lies.
And take his ears, so he can't hear the promise you vowed to break,
the stand that you'll never take.

A solider comes back from the war.
