dax - soldier lyrics

[chorus: dax]
i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier
(i’m the one who they call when the times get hard)
yeah, i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier
(when times get hard, i’m who they call)
when my back’s against the wall, i won’t break and i won’t fall, i’m a soldier

[verse 1: dax]
i know how it feels to be caught in the rain, going to war in your brain
when depression is staring you right in the face and anxiety’s
grabbing you making you shake, but there’s people depending on you
to be great, so you hide all the feelings and push them away
it’s too hard trying to mix it all with the pain, i’m drinking to cool off
and it’s all in my veins, i’m making these new songs to move on and restrain
from grabbing a sawed+off and going to c+ck it and aim
at these nuanced, influenced people who shame the role that a man
has to play as a husband, a father, a brother, a son
who is serve ‘n’ protecting his family’s name
they laugh in your face when you try to explain or express
then tell you they love you without any loyalty, patience or basic respect
then expect you to smile every day while it eats at your mind and your soul
and your flesh and you work and you wither away ’til the day that you can’t
and you’re broken and nothing is left and you’re old and you can’t even

[chorus: dax]
i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier
(when times get hard, i’m who they call)
(i’m the one who they call when the times get hard)
when my back’s against the wall, i won’t break and i won’t fall
i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier(i go to war for my dogs)
(i’m a give you my all just don’t break my heart)
i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier
[verse 2: tom macdonald]
my pr+nouns are he/him/his, my job is to feed these kids
be strong, keep feelings within, my papa taught me to protect the weak
a man ain’t what he got, a man is what he gives and when he gives it all
and it still ain’t enough, then he’s the one to blame and no+one gives a sh+t
never leave a man behind, we all crack and break within the hands of time
i got axe to grind with anybody tryna identify as a guy
if they chromosomes ain’t xy, you will never understand
what it’s like for a man, gotta fight with your hands
wanna cry, but you can’t if it’s right for the fam
you will tighten your pants, provide and romance
you would die where you stand, gotta be the bigger man
when there’s problems, get judged by the money in your wallet
it’s our fault, let’s be honest, we built the world that labelled us, “toxic”
gotta lead and teach and keep the peace and fight the fires and be police
when a man gets tired he don’t lay down to sleep
he take all the heat, don’t complain or retreat
it’s a cold world and it’s hard times and our children inherit the land
if you think that being a boy is just picking a pr+noun, you should try being
dad, you could build all the houses and fix all the cars and work ’til it’s breaking your back, but the hardest job world? being a man

[chorus: dax]
i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier
(when times get hard, i’m who they call)
(i’m the one who they call when the times get hard)
when my back’s against the wall, i won’t break and i won’t fall
i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier(i go to war for my dogs)
(i’m a give you my all just don’t break my heart)
i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier, i’m a soldier
[verse 3: dax]
battling feelings i can’t even show, weight of the world on my shoulders
is crushing my people around me, they don’t even know we
i put on this cape, then go save everybody while i’m being shattered
and all of my bones take on the pressure of being the hero who saves
but has no+one help with his own, demons inside that try to eat him alive
i’m going insane and when i’m out my mind, i look at stars and
talk to god in the sky, i wait on his words, but i don’t get a reply
i try to refrain from diving deep, so, i hold back tears that try to come
out my eyes in this world as a man, where we know we can’t cry
’cause the people we love look in us to confide
so, i’m silently screaming for help, life is a battle inside of these trenches
especially when fighting it all by yourself, ptsd from the memories
people who left you for dead and then drag you through h+ll
leaving you shocked deep inside of a sh+ll with stories you hate
but n0body to tell while you question god if your soul, you should sell
