No More

lyrics

Don't wanna hear your lies no more
We don't wanna fight your wars
Don't wanna see my people die no more
Or see their mamas cry no more

Don't wanna hear your lies no more
Don't know what we're fightin' for
We don't have the time to mourn
When will the pain go away?

War is hell
He fought for a reason but never for his self
He always believed that he was born to help
He wore his heart on his sleeve but he wore it well
He enlisted to make his family proud
Then they shipped him to a battleground
He don't get to see his family now
His kid don't get to have his dad around
Losing a son, father, and friend is hard
He got shot in a war that wasn't meant to start
Then came the knock at the door with a heavy heart
She just dropped to the floor and she fell apart
He ventured down a noble path
They tried to tell him there's no goin' back
Now all that's left is a folded flag
And a son that'll never get to know his dad

Don't wanna hear your lies no more
We don't wanna fight your wars
Don't wanna see my people die no more
Or see their mamas cry no more

Don't wanna hear your lies no more
Don't know what we're fightin' for
We don't have the time to mourn
When will the pain go away?

The stress is post traumatic
Scenes replay in his head that are most dramatic
He saw some things that weren't supposed to happen
Tryin' to cope without hope can turn a pro to addict
Now he's addicted to these opioids
About to slip into a hopeless void
His family's overjoyed that he won't deploy
But they don't understand that his soul's destroyed
Now that he's home, he's just tryin to live
But he can't escape the bottle he's been hidin' in
He fought for a country that didn't fight for him
With his rifle in his palm, riskin' life and limb
No hope in sight, he tried to play it fair
He closed his eyes, took the time out to say a prayer
Put the rope around his neck, kicked away the chair
The note they found, it said "too much pain to bear."

Don't wanna hear your lies no more
We don't wanna fight your wars
Don't wanna see my people die no more
Or see their mamas cry no more

Don't wanna hear your lies no more
Don't know what we're fightin' for
We don't have the time to mourn
When will the pain go away?
