Dashboard Confessional - Slow Decay lyrics

rate me

stand down son, start resting easy you've done your service, i am proud to have you home and see you safe, it's so good you look so strong in that picture on the mantle you sent your mom when you were gone but you look scared now, hollow eyed when are you coming when are you coming back where you belong i swear that it's safe here, there's nothing to fear at all come on back where you belong, the pressure releases if you just let down your guard everything rests on you you know that feeling well, the ball is falling, falling, falling, so far from a close call your injuries aren't mortal wounds, the only thing that's killing you is what you saw, what you couldn't stop but you're not the one i blame, it wasn't your mistake you're safe now so come on back where you belong i swear that it's safe here, there's nothing to fear at all come on back where you belong, the pressure releases if you just let down your guard it's the simple things dad, i'm not hurt, i'm not dead, i just should be where my friends are lying and i didn't hate those that i killed but they're all dead now but i'm here alive with satellites and friday nights and no one to judge me for the things that i've done and all so how can i live with that? back where i belong take me back where i belong, you swear that it's safe here theres nothing to fear at all take me back where i belong, the pressure releases i just let down my guard
