The Lonely Soldier
I don't wanna go home
I'm a lonely soldier
Yeah, lonely soldier, looking over his shoulder
Running from the madness, trying hard to control it
But everyone around him, they making him lose his focus
Running out of options, I think that it's time you show us
What you made of, what, what, what you capable of
We in a time where people really value hate over love
And even then, this type of love, they claim it ain't really love
It's more adjacent to lust, they got no patience for us
Living in a world where our own self esteems are so weak
Try to hide it, but you translucent, you ain't discreet
People seeking validation through a f**king screen
Spending time procrastinating, trust me, it ain't what it seems
Oooooh, I don't wanna go home
Oooooh, I'm a lonely soldier
The lonely soldier, looking over his shoulder
Got his gun up out the holster, I think he's gonna expose ya
I swear that boy is ready to shoot, so don't come closer
(Pop, pop, pop)
I thought I warned ya
Some would call him arrogant, but I would say he's passionate
I, I think he's carrying the weight of the embarrassment
He puts a mask upon his face to cover all the bandages
He's bruised and battered, can't combat the feeling of abandonment
He did this s**t by accident, his conscience playing devil's advocate
And they don't realize that he's suffering, they can't imagine it
He took the people that loved him and turned his back on them
To try and find an equilibrium, but he can't balance it
Oooooh, I don't wanna go home
Oooooh, I'm a lonely soldier
I'm a lonely soldier
Yeah, lonely soldier, looking over his shoulder
Running from the madness, trying hard to control it
But everyone around him, they making him lose his focus
Running out of options, I think that it's time you show us
What you made of, what, what, what you capable of
We in a time where people really value hate over love
And even then, this type of love, they claim it ain't really love
It's more adjacent to lust, they got no patience for us
Living in a world where our own self esteems are so weak
Try to hide it, but you translucent, you ain't discreet
People seeking validation through a f**king screen
Spending time procrastinating, trust me, it ain't what it seems
Oooooh, I don't wanna go home
Oooooh, I'm a lonely soldier
The lonely soldier, looking over his shoulder
Got his gun up out the holster, I think he's gonna expose ya
I swear that boy is ready to shoot, so don't come closer
(Pop, pop, pop)
I thought I warned ya
Some would call him arrogant, but I would say he's passionate
I, I think he's carrying the weight of the embarrassment

He's bruised and battered, can't combat the feeling of abandonment
He did this s**t by accident, his conscience playing devil's advocate
And they don't realize that he's suffering, they can't imagine it
He took the people that loved him and turned his back on them
To try and find an equilibrium, but he can't balance it
Oooooh, I don't wanna go home
Oooooh, I'm a lonely soldier
