Man Down

The laugh lines of a weary soldier
slowly begin to fade.
When all else is take,
the truth is spoken that day.

When in the midst of battle,
do you really know yourself?
If someone said who are you,
could you tell them without a doubt?

I can't because i hide behind the lines.
Only at the moons peak,
does worry seep out.
Cause in the midst of battle
i don't know who i am.
I'll hide behind these lines,
Trust me no one will care who i am.
