Slow Decay Lyrics

Stand down, son And start resting easy You’ve done your service I am proud to have you home and see you safe
It’s so good You looked so strong In that picture on the mantle You sent your mom when you were gone
But you looked 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 feelin' well The ball is fallin', fallin', fallin' So far from a close call
Your injuries aren’t mortal wounds The only thing that’s killin' you Is what you saw And what you couldn’t stop
Well, you’re not the one I blame It wasn’t your mistake But you're safe now so come home
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 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
And I’m here alive with satellites And friday nights and no one to judge me Or the things that I’ve done at all So how can I live with that?
Back where I belong Back where I belong Back where I belong Back where I belong
Take me back where I belong You swear that it’s safe here There is nothing to fear at all
Take me back where I belong The pressure releases If I just let down my guard
