Paroles de Not Your Savior

They called me brave when I bled for them But I came back broken, and now I'm just a name March in silence, smile on command While the scars on my soul were never part of their plan You post your flags and praise your gods While I choke on medals and chemical fog This isn’t healing, this is delay A hero’s mask just hides decay I was the one You left behind Now you preach peace On borrowed time I'm not your savior! Don’t speak my name like it sets you free I'm not your answer! You love the war, but you buried me I'm not your savior! Don’t speak my name like it sets you free I'm not your answer! You love the war, but you buried me You said: Never forget But forgot me first Fed me silence Then rehearsed A thousand prayers for those you see While ghosts like me rot quietly I stood between the flame and you Now I'm the shadow no one knew Painted lies in red, white, black While I drown with voices that won't come back I was the one You left behind Now you preach peace On borrowed time I'm not your savior! Don’t speak my name like it sets you free I'm not your answer! You love the war, but you buried me I died standing Now I live erased I gave you my soul But you can't face my face I never wanted praise Just to breathe You salute But won’t see What you made of me I'm not your savior! Don’t speak my name like it sets you free I'm not your answer! You love the war, but you buried me I'm not your savior! Don’t speak my name like it sets you free I'm not your answer! You love the war, but you buried me I died standing Now I live erased I gave you my soul But you can't face my face I was the shield Now I'm the stain Not your savior Just what remains
