“The War That Followed Me Home“ is taken from Convictions upcoming release, “I Won't Survive“ out on 5/7. Preorder it here : This song is based on a true story, and was carefully collaborated with those involved. Produced / engineered by Andrew Wade. I break down. My mind awakes in the wake of hysteria. It's happening again. I see your face in the place where I rest my head. I only sleep with my eyes wide open. I blame myself. I shame myself. Death from the front lines showing up on my front doorstep. You'll never know the guilt I felt from surviving or know the love and loss that's always on repeat. I'm just a living casualty. I thought I left the fight behind back overseas and maybe I'm denied a full recovery. I've gone . I'll never find me. I can't escape the flashbacks. We attacked. They shot back. The skies turned black. I watched my friend take his last breath. I set aside my humanity. How can I feel when I've been trained for apathy? I put my life on the line. At what cost? My first kill became the death of me. Forget everything you've known and come to believe. Stripped down and torn apart. Replace the heart. You are a machine. Somewhere I know there's a soul trapped in between. Where do I go from here when the smoke clears and the bodies appear? No time for fear as death rains from the air. My knees collapse and I brace for the impact. The bloodshed that never ends, the echo that runs through my head; it's a war that followed me home.
