[Verse 1] Looking in the mirror All he can see is pain Old blood in the corner of his eye Like it never washed away He traces every stitch and scar Knows they’ll fade to pale But it’s the eyes that stare straight through him Counting every time he failed [Chorus] It’s the bodies left behind That keep him up at night Every face a flicker In the dark behind his eyes He can fix the broken bone He can swallow every pill in sight But the bodies Bodies left behind They’re the ones he can’t set right [Verse 2] Looking down at useless legs He says “I’ll stand again” Metal holding shattered bone Waiting on the days to mend They rebuilt her crooked spine Piece by fragile piece Same way they are patching him But some wounds fight the reach [Chorus] It’s the bodies left behind That keep him up at night Every face a flicker In the dark behind his eyes He can fix the broken bone He can swallow every pill in sight But the bodies Bodies left behind They’re the ones he can’t set right [Bridge] Hunter’s finally starting to heal (yeah) Skin and steel beginning to agree But there’s a war he never signed for Raging where the world can’t see [Chorus] It’s the bodies left behind That keep him up at night Every face a flicker In the dark behind his eyes He can fix the broken bone He can swallow every pill in sight But the bodies Bodies left behind They’re the ones he can’t set right They’re the ones he can’t set right (oh)
