A poetically sad song from Eyedea. The first half of the song is about someone committing suicide, which he reveals at the end of the first verse is himself. The second half of the song is about a young soldier who gets killed overseas.
This song is generally about trying to enjoy life before death...
[Verse 1]
You can hide but you can't run
As long as you can hold your breath
A little long night don't make him feel
So he's gonna have to do the rest
My skin is crawling off, the walls are falling in again
Hide inside of a nice sized pin prick
Silent scream, quiet brings
I just hope I get to see the sun
[Hook 1]
One more time
Before all the firing and rewiring gets out of control
I choked my first time
Now I'm not coming home
[Verse 2]
You can run but you can't replace
A family heirloom broke on a stranger's floor
His father said he had a heart as big as the world
Too bad the world he signed up for ships its young off to war
Well here it goes, the sheepdog is hunting wolves
In the name of freedom, but who is it for?
The headline's read
"Now the young soldier dead"
I just hope he got to see the sun
[Bridge]
One more time
Before all heaven opened up and just swallowed him whole
I just hope he got to see the sun
[Hook 2]
One more time
Before all the firing and rewiring got out of control
In his country's eyes
But he won't be coming home
