The war in me
Verse
They said the wars over.
But what do they know?
They said go home soldier.
You’ll be safe at home.
Pre chorus
I came back alive.
Saw too many die.
The graves of my friends.
Am I digging mine?
Chorus
The terrible dreams
Sound of their screams.
The horrors I’ve seen.
The war in me.
Verse
They said we stopped fighting.
You don’t need a gun.
They said you’ll be normal.
Forget what you’ve done.
Pre chorus
I came back alive.
Saw too many die.
The graves of my friends.
Am I digging mine?
Chorus
The terrible dreams
Sound of their screams.
The horrors I’ve seen.
The war in me.
Verse
They said you’ll soon adjust.
You’ll learn to have fun.
But I can’t settle down.
Still hear the big guns.
Bridge
The war is not over.
It still rages on.
It still rages on
Pre chorus
I came back alive.
Saw too many die.
The graves of my friends.
Am I digging mine?
Chorus
The terrible dreams
Sound of their screams.
The horrors I’ve seen.
The war in me.

OK, I've got this blocked out and chorded in my head as is. Any suggestions before I commit?
You know what a marching snare sounds like, right? I'm gonna' start this off like that but with an electric guitar 
THE WAR IN ME (The silent hell of home)
It will never be over
The privileged never know
The heartbreak of a soldier
The silent hell of home
What's it all for
If death is no disgrace
The grave is no more comfort
For those who take my place
The potential of youth
The honor of thieves
The illusion of truth
The war in me
The enemy shows no mercy
His mouth is full of lies
His hands are full of treachery
His face is a disguise
You must be ever vigilant
The enemy has no shame
Their mothers are all whores
Their children have no names
Don't listen to their cries
Every animal dies
So don't be fooled by their eyes
Don't look into their eyes
What's it all for
If death is no disgrace
The grave is no more comfort
For those who take my place
The grave is just as cold
For those who take my place
The potential of youth
The honor of thieves
The illusion of truth
The war in me
It will never be over
The privileged never know
The heartbreak of a soldier
The silent hell of home

I'd like to hear it with music, like it now
A song like this needs to be out for people to hear, most haven't got a clue as to what goes on in the world.
It would be great if someone put together a CD to market with proceeds going to Vets in need. All songs by Vets. I have another song called Gunpowder and Gasoline that I got some crap for. But hey, artistic freedoms correct?

Taking a weekend trip too see my folks, Dad's a Vet too so we'll probably burn up some ammo, I'll start recording Monday!
Love your Idea about a CD, I'm In!
"Gunpowder and Gasoline..." Lol! Sounds like one of mine called "I've got an Answer!"
See ya'll next next week! And go welcome ChrisPrice, he's good folk! 🙂

Ah the old days. There used to be country all around me. I could get the 22 and roam about almost anywhere. We'd burn the boxes of ammo. The farms and brush land disappeared at an ever increasing speed. Replaced by subdivisions and shopping centers. Citrus orchards and cotton fields; fields of tomatoes, corn and okra all gone now. Cant fire a gin now without someone calling the cops. Last year I moved to a small subdivision on the National forest at the edge of a lake. Going to have to hike into the forest to do some plinking. Plenty of bass, crappie and catfish to fish and have a few cold ones. Can't replace what is gone
Feel sorry for kids today missing out on what was. Have a blast pal!
