Story Behind The Song

On, shell shock, PTSD...

Lyrics

Getting in line, doing your time
Head held high in your new disguise
Do your best, to pass their test
And you're running, and moving
It's just your way of proving you're still in control
Losing, and choosing to make your own way
The only way you've ever known

Not much time when you're living on the dime
Finite and fading quickly running down the line
Keep your head, everyone's dead
But you're moving, you're shaking
You're never forsaking all your simple rules
Honor and valor, and honor thy Mother
And never play the fool

You're trying to cope at the end of your rope
But your brain's gone bad
Trying to find the peace of mind you never had
