lyrics

Once upon a time. I felt more alive when I wasn’t trapped in this trench.
I just wanna save my soul and oh how I miss home.
But I never thought this would be how it ends.

I said no more tears. No more fears. I just wanna sleep.
I might rest easier at the bottom of the bay.
You said Joel my boy, listen please. I need you to leave.
But are you really better off without me?

I’m a Veteran. And I’m falling from the sky.
I’m a war hero. And you’ll never take me alive.

I’m not the funny guy anymore. Use your imagination and pretend I’m out the door.
I’ve had too much to drink. It makes me overthink that I’m less of a man that only wants more.

I said no more tears. No more fears. I just wanna sleep.
I might rest easier at the bottom of the bay.
You said Joel my boy, listen please. I need you to leave.
But are you really better off without me?

I’m a Veteran. And I’m falling from the sky.
I’m a war hero. And you’ll never take me alive.

Say my name.
(You probably won’t even remember it anyway.)
I don’t blame you.
I can’t count how many bodies I dropped that day.
I haven’t been able to sleep.
Lord have mercy on me!

I’m a Veteran. And I’m falling from the sky.
I’m a war hero. And you’ll never take me alive.
So say what you want and do as you please.
Just know it’s an eye for an eye.
I still can’t believe you’re an ungrateful piece of shit even though I saved your life!
I’m a veteran.

prchr. Gold Coast, Australia

prchr. (pronounced PERCHER) is a garage/blues alternative rocker hailing from the northern NSW/Gold Coast region. He takes inspiration from familiar modern rock artists and crafts his sound to initially please fans of the dirty, fuzzy tones and takes it a step further by splitting his guitar signal live in multiple directions to immerse his audience into the loud depths of his songwriting. ... more
