The Deserter Songtext
von Until We Are Ghosts

I never saw them
An empty vessel holds the pain I′ve consumed
I blame myself for these never-ending ends
This has always been so difficult

All the times you've tried
And every time I′ve let it in
I couldn't change your fate
A gravestone marks the beds you make
I wish I would have been more a part of your life
Now I understand why I never got to say goodbye


Maybe I'm just like my father, a wasted chance
The realities of life and losing sight of my family
And the ones that I hold close to me

Who am I really now?
Do I just do this to myself?
Act all alone and betrayed
Am I really alone or am I the deserter?

Who am I really now?
I think I found the answer
I′m just a clouded head with a great lack of rest
I′m not really alone
I'm not being betrayed
This is who I really am


I am the deserter
I am the deserter
I am the deserter
