“No Man’s Land” addresses the stigma that surrounds suicide and mental illness, especially for men. Many cultures view mental illnesses as character flaws or mental weaknesses, and suicidal thoughts as cowardly or quitting. These ideas lead sufferers to be too ashamed to speak out until it’s too lat...
[Verse 1]
Another man stumbles
Another one falls
When one of us crumbles
Another one just ends it all
We suffer in silence
One by one we break
We only know violence
But what a difference a calm and steady hand can make
(A steady hand can make)
[Chorus]
Now we're broken, supposed to be brave, but
The road that we've taken is washing away
Yeah, we're broken, but no one's to blame
Everything is changing but we are, we are the same
[Verse 2]
Too many mothers
Are burying sons
And too many daughters
Are being robbed of their own father's love
We're killing each other
We're killing ourselves
'Cause nobody taught us
That it ain't weakness to open up and reach for help
[Pre-Chorus]
Staring at the bottom of the bottle
Like it owes us something
We owe it to ourselves to be better
In case the world's gonna give us nothing
[Chorus]
Now we're broken, supposed to be brave, but
The road that we've taken is washing away
Yeah, we're broken, but no one's to blame
Everything is changing but we are, we are the same
[Bridge]
Staring at the bottom of the bottle
Like it owes us something
We owe it to ourselves to be better
In case the world's gonna give us nothing
Staring at the bottom of the bottle
Like it owes us something
We owe it to ourselves to be better
In case the world's gonna give us nothing
[Chorus]
Now we're broken, supposed to be brave, but
The road that we've taken is washing away
Yeah, we're broken, but no one's to blame
Everything is changing but we are, we are the same (same)
We are the same
