Left Behind

Vol. 2

All That I Can Give

[Intro]
Stand up straight. Sign the line. Strip your name. Obey!

[Verse I]
I woke up screaming in camo skin
Shaved my soul to fit the grin
Boots too tight, rules too loud
Now I'm marching with the faceless crowd!

[Verse II]
Yes, sir! No thought!
Steel spine, mind rot
Salute the flag, swallow the script
Your name is gone — now you’re just it

[Chorus]
I AM IN THE ARMY NOW!
BREAK ME DOWN — TEACH ME HOW!
KILL ON COMMAND, THINK IN CODE
SHUT MY BRAIN, LOCK AND LOAD!

[Verse III]
Orders barked from iron mouths
Maps of death, dirty doubts
No god here — just grease and flame
Your blood is oil, your name’s a stain

[Bridge]
Uniforms make us the same
But we all rot in our own shame
War is peace — that’s what they said
Then they fed me bullets instead

[Verse IV]
Crawl through mud, taste the lie
My body breaks, but I still comply
Home's a blur, voice is gone
But the rifle's weight keeps me strong

[Second Chorus]
I AM IN THE ARMY NOW!
SKIN IS STONE, HEART IS COWED!
CAMERA EYES, CODE RED BREATH
TRAINED TO FOLLOW, BRED FOR DEATH!

[Breakdown]
March me into the fire
Strip my truth like barbed wire
Serve the lie, salute the end
Become machine, forget to bend

[Verse V]
Drill the soul out, stitch the hate in
Bury the guilt beneath my skin
I don’t sleep — I stand in line
Another number lost to time

[Final]
I AM IN THE ARMY NOW!
GIVE ME NOTHING — TAKE A BOW!
CHAIN OF COMMAND, FIST IN MY MOUTH
SEND ME WEST AND SHOOT ME SOUTH!

[Outro]
I used to be…
someone else…
Now I am the war itself.

I Am in the Army Now
