[Verse 1] Woke up to silence But the ghosts still speak (yeah) Her shadow’s in the mirror Her lipstick streak (uh-huh) Friends buried in the ground Names etched in stone This battlefield of life I fight it alone [Chorus] Embrace the suck Yeah Hold it tight This life’s a war No wrong No right The ashes fall But we don’t duck When life’s unfair Just Embrace the Suck [Verse 2] Promises broken Lies like a noose A love gone rotten What’s the use? I’m haunted by the faces Those I couldn’t save Living in the shadow of a hero’s grave [Prechorus] You can’t rewind You can’t erase This world’s a fist Punchin’ your face [Chorus] Embrace the suck Yeah Grip it hard Life’s a scarred-up battle card The ashes fall But we don’t duck When life’s unfair Just Embrace the Suck [Bridge] The whiskey burns The nights drag long The demons hum their siren song A soldier’s strength A hollow shell I fight my war in a civilian hell
