[Verse 1]
I close my eyes it's still as real as the day that I arrived
I still hear the noise and feel the fight inside
Stuck in the dark fighting for the light
Funny how it seems I fight for everyone but me
How long's it gonna take for me to see
I'm the only one that can set me free

[Chorus]
I know it's gonna pass but it's still a burden on my soul
Cause everything I saw it left me with a hole
That no matter what I do I just can't fill
The memories that I carry are like medals on my chest
One foot in the future one foot in thе past
And with everything I do now I confess
It's only gonna changе if I change it

[Verse 2]
Coming home didn't really feel like coming home
A husband, father, son and still alone
Looking for the life I used to know
But here I am in my thoughts I know I've let the enemy in
But I'll be damned now if I'm gonna let 'em win
14 years now and this is where it ends and hope begins

[Chorus]
I know it's gonna pass but it's still a burden on my soul
But everything I saw it left me with a hole
That no matter what I do I just can't fill
The memories that I carry are like medals on my chest
One foot in the future one foot in the past
And with everything I do now I confess
It's only gonna change if I change it
[Bridge]
I was chasing down the reaper but he just ran from me
Prisoner to a war never found the enemy
Alone here with my thoughts scribbled on this page
I finally found the key to unlock this cage

[Chorus]
I know it's gonna pass but it's still a burden on my soul
But everything I saw it left me with a hole
That no matter what I do I just can't fill
The memories that I carry are like medals on my chest
One foot in the future one foot in the past
And with everything I do now I confess
It's only gonna change if I change it

[Outro]
If I change it
