Missed your last call

Lyrics

(Verse 1)Boots hit dirt in a foreign placeBloodshot eyes, dust on my faceThey said “hold strong, don’t lose your head”While every word you said still bled Static cuts through a satellite lineYour voice was breaking, out of timeYou said “I’m proud, just stay where you are”BUT THAT JUST LEFT ME WITH THE SCARS (Pre-Chorus)I clenched my teeth, I played my partWhile something died inside my heart (Chorus — half scream / half clean)I MISSED YOUR LAST CALL—I MISSED GOODBYEWHILE I WAS FIGHTING UNDER A DIFFERENT SKYThey gave me orders, I paid the priceBUT I WASN’T THERE ON YOUR LAST NIGHTNow every ring is a knife in my headEvery word you said is already deadI’D TRADE MY BLOOD, MY NAME, MY SOULJUST TO NOT LET YOU DIE ALONE (Verse 2 — building anger)They folded flags, they shook my handSaid “you’re a hero, you’re a man”BUT WHAT’S A TITLE WHEN YOU’RE GONE?WHAT DID I SAVE IF I LOST MY MOM? Your picture’s taped inside my vestRight over everything I suppressI hear your voice in every roundBUT I CAN’T DIG YOU OUT THE GROUND (Pre-Chorus — rising)Every order I obeyedFeels like the choice that sealed your grave (Chorus — full scream emphasis)I MISSED YOUR LAST CALL—I MISSED GOODBYEWHILE I WAS BLEEDING UNDER A DIFFERENT SKYThey gave me purpose, they took my lifeLEFT ME ALONE WITH THIS ENDLESS NIGHTNow every ring is a ghost I chaseEvery memory I can’t eraseI’D BURN IT DOWN—THE WORLD I’M INJUST TO HEAR YOUR VOICE AGAIN (Breakdown — full scream)NO SIGNAL. NO VOICE. NO WAY BACK.I WAS FIGHTING A WAR—WHILE LOSING THAT.NO TIME. NO CHANCE. NO FINAL WORD.JUST SILENCE WHERE YOUR VOICE ONCE WAS. I CALLED TOO LATE.I CAME TOO LATE.I HATE THE DISTANCE—I HATE THIS PLACE. (Bridge — soft → explosive)If I could run through every mileI’d trade the war just for your smileI’d drop the gun, I’d disobeyJust to be there that final day (SCREAM)BUT I WASN’T THERE—AND I’LL NEVER FORGETTHE SOUND OF A PHONE THAT I NEVER PICKED (Final Chorus — layered clean + scream)I missed your last call, I missed goodbyeAnd now I’m drowning in the reasons whyThey call it honor, they call it fateBUT IT JUST FEELS LIKE I WAS TOO LATEEvery night I hear that toneA dying echo, I’m all aloneI’D GIVE IT ALL—EVERYTHING I’VE KNOWNJUST TO NOT LET YOU DIE ALONE (Outro — fading scream)Still dialing… still dialing…BUT THERE’S NO ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE…
