Army Reserve - Brendan O'Brien Mix

How long must she stand before the ground
it gives way to an endless fall
She can feel this war on her face
Stars on her pillow she's folding in darkness
begging for slumber

I'm not blind, I can see it coming
Looks like lightning in my child's eye
I'm not frantic, I can feel it coming
Violently shakes my body

Her son's slanted
Always giving her the sideways eye
The empty chair where dad sits
How loud can silence get?

Mom, she reassures to contain him
But it's becoming a lie
She tells herself and anyone else
Father is risking his life for our freedoms

I'm not blind, I can see it coming
Looks like lightning in my child's eye
I'm no frantic, I can feel it coming
Darling, you'll save me if you save yourself
