about

"The day I finished writing this song was honestly kind of weird. I wrote the lyrics down and left it for a while. when I came back to it, it was somehow as if I didn't write.
Not to sound insane, but it honestly felt like someone else was trying to tell their story through me.
thus lending the title (another man's story)"

lyrics

And so I sit here, in my misery
Drunk on apathy and fear
Will I have the balls, to go out and fight
while all the others are here

And I know, it's unthinkable
And I know, you don't want me to leave home

I woke up this morning, with a knot in my stomach
and I realized what i'm about to do
If i wanna go to college, i sure as hell can't pay for it
i might as well risk my life too

So I packed up my bags and signed the application
and said my goodbyes and farewells
and i wondered if i would make one small difference
or not one different at all

Laying in the trenches with blood sweats and terror, with bullets flying over my head
i thought about my family and friend i left at home and how stupid my decisions have been

To do this for mere financial compensation, to get paid to go to college for what
to think i got on that bus and left my whole life to fight a war i don't believe in

And i know, its unthinkable
and i know, its not easy
and i know, it not easy
and i know, you just want me to come home
