Brandon Lee Webb Band - Michael

On a foreign shore miles away from his home
Michael first witnessed death
At 16 yrs old his friends and he
First faced down the enemies stand
Michael only remains though he's never the same
And his life he just can't get back
All the wounds that he bore were fleshy and raw
But he knew that they'd heal in time
Yes he was sure they'd heal in time
The skin it did heal though his friends they still scream
From his memories cold and black
And his scars though unseen still remind him in dreams
Of the friends that he left behind
He just can't get passed all the pain in his past
That somehow keeps crippling his mind
The mistakes he's made since are all littered with drink
Just to keep his head from the pain
Though he was sure it'd heal in time
Now it's 40 years since he was discharged unfit
Though it feels like it was yesterday
It seems every day now he see's their faces again
In all that he tries to do
Waking up in the night screaming trying to fight
Unseen enemies from years ago
Now he's so tired of life cos it's so full of death
He just longed to let it all go
Yeah he longed
To let it
All go
So one day alone Michael unplugged the phone
And looked through his photos of the past
He drank from the bottle down deep with rope
Considering how to go
With a swift jump and fall Michael ended it all
For himself not his two sons and wife
In them his pain lives so bitter and sharp
But they're sure it'll heal in time
Yeah they're sure it'll heal in time
