Citizen Soldier - Strong for Somebody Else

 Citizen Soldier - Strong for Somebody Else

I've played out that seems so much in my head
I have to wake up, but I'd rather be dead
Haunted by thoughts of the ones I love most

I picture them living alone with my ghost

Kill the pain and kill the family
Choke the dark down
Just be happy
Talk myself off
Of this ledge I know all too well

My personal hell
I'll bury it, bury it
Weight of the world
I'll carry it, carry it
Pile it all on
I've gotta be strong
For somebody, for somebody
Put my pain in a pill
I'll swallow it, swallow it
Too numb to feel
I'm hollow, I'm hollow
I have to hold on
I've gotta be strong
For somebody, for somebody
Somebody else

This voice in my head it wants me to choose
Die selfish or live with my head in a noose

does it ever get better,  or is this worth the fight
Everyone has a breaking point 

guess we'll  find mine

Kill the body, not the memory
Wouldn't blame 'em

they'd resent me
Kind of scares me
What it takes to just save myself

My personal hell
I'll bury it, bury it
Weight of the world
I'll carry it, carry it
Pile it all on
I've gotta be strong
For somebody, for somebody
Put my pain in a pill
I'll swallow it, swallow it
Too numb to feel
I'm hollow, I'm hollow
I have to hold on
I've gotta be strong
For somebody, for somebody

Somebody else
Somebody else

My personal hell
I'll bury it, bury it
Weight of the world
I'll carry it, carry it
Pile it all on
I've gotta be strong
For somebody, for somebody
Put my pain in a pill
I'll swallow it, swallow it
Too numb to feel
I'm hollow, I'm hollow
I have to hold on
I've gotta be strong
For somebody, for somebody

Somebody else
For somebody, for somebody
Somebody else
For somebody, for somebody
Somebody else
