Behind you, without question
Through a bloody, foreign war
I lived in your oppression
It was you who I fought for.

Throughout the bitter winter
And beat down on by the sun
The blisters, scars, and splinters
I risked it all for one.

You used me, scarred me, ripped apart
A kid who I once knew
Yet, in the corners of my heart
I’d trade it all for you.

You are the reason I still live in loneliness and fear
But even though I hate you, you’re the reason I’m still here.
