Face It

[Verse 1]
Bullets in the clip, blood on my sleeve
Another day I barely make it through
Lost three more brothers last week
Now their tags hang round my neck like the truth
Been fighting since I can't remember when
Through villages and fields we've crawled
Started with a squad of ten
Now I'm the last one standing, back against the wall
Can't count the times I've pulled the trigger
Each shot takes something away
Every face becomes a number
Till you can't tell night from day

[Chorus]
When there's nowhere left to run
That's when you face what you've become
All these years of shoot and run
Now I know what I've become
(What I've become, what I've become)

[Verse 2]
I found a picture of a friend in my backpack
From before all this began
His smile hits like an attack
Remember how we made our plans
Said we'd make it home by spring
Now he's buried in frozen ground
War don't care about anything
Just takes and takes without a sound
Try to wash the red away
But it's stained deep in my skin
Every night I hear them say
"Brother, why'd you let them win?"

[Chorus]
When there's nowhere left to run
That's when you face what you've become
All these years of shoot and run
Now I know what I've become
(What I've become, what I've become)

[Verse 3]
My legs won't carry me no more
Too tired to keep this fight alive
Dropping my gun to the floor
First time I feel real since I arrived
Maybe dying ain't so bad
When you're already dead inside
Think of all the peace we had
Before we chose our sides
This is where it has to end
No more brothers need to fall
No more triggers left to bend
No more running, that's all

[Chorus]
When there's nowhere left to run
That's when you face what you've become
All these years of shoot and run
Now I know what I've become
(What I've become, what I've become)
