Soldier Lyrics

Soldier Lyrics by DAX

I’m a soldier

I’m a soldier, I’m a soldier

I’m a soldier

(I’m the one who they call when the times get hard)

I’m a soldier

I’m a soldier, I’m a soldier

(When times get hard, I’m who they call)

I’m a soldier

(When my backs against the wall I don’t break and I won’t fall)

I’m a soldier

I know how it feels to be caught in the rain going to war in your brain

When depression is staring you

Right in the face and anxieties

Grabbing you making you shake

But there’s people depending on you

To be great

So you hide all the feelings

And push them away

It’s too hard trying to mix it all with the pain I’m drinking to cool off

And it’s all in my veins

I’m making these new songs

To move on and restrain

From grabbing a sawed off

And going to cock it and aim

At these nuanced influenced people

Who shame the role that a man has to play as a husband a father a brother a son

Who is serve ’n’ protecting his families name

They laugh in your face when you try to explain or express

Then tell you they love you without any loyalty, patience, or basic respect

Then expect you to smile every day while it eats at your mind and your soul

And your flesh and you work and you wither away till the day that you can’t

And you’re broken and nothing is left and you’re old and you can’t even

I’m a soldier

I’m a soldier, I’m a soldier

I’m a soldier

(I’m the one who they call when the times get hard)

I’m a soldier

I’m a soldier, I’m a soldier

(When times get hard, I’m who they call)

I’m a soldier

(When my backs against the wall I don’t break and I won’t fall)

I’m a soldier

My pronouns are he/ him/ his

My my job is to feed these kids

Be strong, keep feelings within

My Pappa taught me to protect the weak, a man ain’t what he got a man is what he gives

And when gives it all and it still ain’t enough

Then he’s the one to blame and no one gives a shit

Never leave a man behind

We all crack and break within the hands of time

I got axe to grind

With anybody tryna identify as a guy if they chromosomes ain’t XY

You will never understand, what it’s like for a man

Gotta fight with your hands, wanna cry but you can’t

If it’s right for the fam, you will tighten your pants

Provide and romance, you would die whereyou stand

Gotta be the bigger man when there’s problems

Get judged by the money in your wallet

It’s our fault, let’s be honest

We built the world that labelled us toxic

Gotta lead and teach and keep the peace

And fight the fires and be police

When a man gets tired he don’t lay down to sleep

He take all the heat

Don’t complain or retreat

It’s a cold world and it’s hard times and our children inherit the land

If you think that being a boy is just picking a pronoun, you should try being Dad

You could build all the houses and fix all the cars and work till it’s breaking your back

But the hardest job world?

Being a man

I’m a soldier

I’m a soldier, I’m a soldier

(When times get hard, I’m who they call)

I’m a soldier

(I’m the one who they call when the times get hard)

When my backs against the wall I don’t break and I won’t fall

I’m a soldier

(I go to war for my dogs)

I’m a soldier, I’m a soldier

I’m a soldier

(I’m a give you my all just don’t break my heart)

I’m a soldier I’m a soldier

I’m a soldier

Battling feelings I can’t even show

Weight of the world on my shoulders

Is crushing me people around me

They don’t even know we

I put on this cape, then go save everybody while I’m being shattered

And all of my bones take on the pressure

Of being the hero who saves

But has no one help with his own

Demons inside that try to eat him alive

I’m going insane and when I’m out my mind

I look at stars and talk to God in the sky

I wait on his words, but I don’t get a reply.

I try to refrain from diving deep, so I

Hold back tears that try to come

Out my eyes in this world as a man

Where we know we can’t cry

Cause the people we love

Look in us to confide so i’m

Silently screaming for help.

Life is a battle inside of these trenches

Especially when fighting it all by yourself PTSD from the memories

People who left you for dead,

And then drag you through hell

Leaving you shocked deep inside of a shell with stories you hate but nobody to tell

While you question God

If your soul you should sell

I’m a soldier

I’m a soldier, I’m a soldier

I’m a soldier

(I’m the one who they call when the times get hard)

I’m a soldier

I’m a soldier, I’m a soldier

(When times get hard, I’m who they call)

I’m a soldier

(When my backs against the wall I don’t break and I won’t fall)

I’m a soldier
