Slow Decay Lyrics - Dusk And Summer - Dashboard Confessional

Stand down son, start resting easy 

You've done your service, i am proud to have you home and see you safe, it's so good 

You look so strong in that picture on the mantle you sent your mom when you were gone 

But you look scared now, hollow eyed 

When are you coming 

When are you coming back where you belong 

I swear that it's safe here, there's nothing to fear at all 

Come on back where you belong, the pressure releases if you just let down your guard 

Everything rests on you 

You know that feeling well, the ball is falling, 

Falling, falling, so far from a close call 

Your injuries aren't mortal wounds, 

The only thing that's killing you is what you saw, 

What you couldn't stop 

But you're not the one i blame, it wasn't your mistake

You're safe now so come on back where you belong 

I swear that it's safe here, there's nothing to fear at all 

Come on back where you belong, 

The pressure releases if you just let down your guard 

It's the simple things dad, i'm not hurt, i'm not dead, 

I just should be where my friends are lying 

And i didn't hate those that i killed but they're all dead now 

But i'm here alive with satellites and friday nights 

And no one to judge me for the things that i've done and all 

So how can i live with that?

I just let down my guard
