Man Down

(No, no...
Wake up. Wake up. It's just a dream.)

I can hear the screams deep inside of me
Like a siren piercing through my brain
Your insanity is my reality
Crawling out of this nightmare every day

I go back to these haunted memories
In the trenches, each moment I'm awake
How long until I break?

Man down, we've got a man down
Crying for help but I can't make a sound
Trapped inside
My own mind
I'm losing control of all my emotions
Is there a cure for these wounds that I've opened?
I'm bleeding out
We've got a man down

In the aftermath I watch the hour glass
Counting down till my senses start to fade
Running terrified through a house of lies
Every room full of thoughts I can't escape

The cycle plays again, I can't let it win
I've come too far just to throw it all away
Hanging on for one more day

Man down, we've got a man down
Crying for help but I can't make a sound
Trapped inside
My own mind
I'm losing control of all my emotions
Is there a cure for these wounds that I've opened?
I'm bleeding out
We've got a man down

Why can't I wash away
The scars of yesterday?
I'm falling to my knees
God can you take this from me?

Man down, we got a man down
Crying for help but I can't make a sound
Trapped inside
My own mind

Man down, we got a man down
Crying for help but I can't make a sound
Trapped inside
My own mind
I'm losing control of all my emotions
Is there a cure for these wounds that I've opened?
I'm bleeding out
We've got a man down

We've got a man down

(He's still down. Still down.)
