Lyrics
Intro
Narrative male voice
22 a day should not happen.
Verse 1
Friction of the medal in his fingers
A reflection of service lingers
Heavy on his mind, noone on his side
In a world that's gone blind
A system puts them in the ground
No support system inbound
(It all breaks down)
Pre-Chorus
They say we're here, but nowhere near
Pat him on the arm, don't you fear
He's not looking for a handout, but seeking help
2 different sides, disappeared and fell
Chorus
He ain't the only one
So many already gone
Letting them down letting them fall
This is the medal recieved, for answering the call
It's to many, 22 a day
A losing war in the hometown fray
Somber Instrumental break
Verse 2
He was failed, left in the rain
Weighed down by his dogtag chain
Mental wars rage with no end
The system won't let him mend
(They pretend)
His thought is what he fears
Only one way to disappear
Pre-Chorus
They say we're here, but nowhere near
Pat him on the arm, don't you fear
He's not looking for a handout, but seeking help
2 different sides, disappeared and fell
Chorus
But He ain't the only one
So many already gone
Letting them down letting them fall
This is the medal recieved, for answering the call
It's to many, 22 a day
A losing war in the hometown fray
Bridge
Going through the channels
Just to be mishandled
Used...and left out to dry
With the whispers of lies
Pre-Chorus
They say we're here, but nowhere near
Pat him on the arm, don't you fear
He's not looking for a handout, but seeking help
2 different sides, disappeared and fell
Chorus
But He ain't the only one
So many already gone
Letting them down letting them fall
This is the medal recieved, for answering the call
It's to many, 22 a day
A losing war in the hometown fray
(22 a day)
Narrative male voice
22 veterans a day are lost at home due to taking their own lives because of a failed system....this has to stop, 22 a day is to many.
Instrumental outro
