"Break Away" lyrics

Tired soldier going home
Where's the hope and where's the shame?
There's no longing anymore
The world doesn't want to be saved

What did you fight for? You'll never know
You're scared but you must carry on
What did you die for? A sacrifice
Defend the honor giving your own life

You gotta break away - you're on the run now
Break away - for peace of mind
Just break away - your final hour
Break away - to find peace of mind

Feeling distant from the world
Scenes of war inside your head
Days are getting grey and cold
Your sanity hangs by a thread

Distressing memories, a sudden grief
The nightmares creeping in, there's no relief
A scream of anger, tears you apart
The trauma lies within a soldier's heart

You gotta break away - you're on the run now
Break away - for peace of mind
Just break away - your final hour
Break away - to find peace of mind

You made a decision to save the world
But the world doesn't want to be saved
You stood in the line of fire, you gave it all
But now you are facing hell
You are facing hell

You gotta break away

You gotta break away - you're on the run now
Break away - for peace of mind
Just break away - your final hour
Break away - to find peace of mind

You gotta break away - you're on the run now
Break away - for peace of mind
Just break away - your final hour
Break away - to find peace of mind
