Lyrics:

[CHORUS]
I’m a soldier
I’m a soldier, I’m a soldier
I’m a soldier
(I’m the one who they call when the times get hard)
Yeah
I’m a soldier,
I’m a soldier, I’m a soldier
(When times get hard, I’m who they call)
I’m a soldier
(When my backs against the wall I don’t break and I won’t fall)
I’m a soldier

Dax:

I know how it feels to be caught in the rain going to war in your brain
when depression is staring you
right in the face and anxieties
grabbing you making you shake
but there’s people depending on you
to be great
so you hide all the feelings
and push them away
It’s too hard trying to mix it all with the pain I’m drinking to cool off
and it’s all in my veins
I’m making these new songs
to move on and restrain
from grabbing a sawed off
and going to cock it and aim
at these nuanced influenced people
who shame the role that a man has to play as a husband a father a brother a son
who is serve ’n’ protecting his families name
They laugh in your face when you try to explain or express then tell you they love you without any loyalty, patience, or basic respect then expect you to smile every day while it eats at your mind and your soul
And your flesh and you work and you wither away till the day that you can’t and you’re broken and nothing is left and you’re old and you can’t even

[CHORUS]

Tom MacDonald:

My pronouns are he/ him/ his
My my job is to feed these kids
Be strong, keep feelings within
My Pappa taught me to protect the weak, a man ain’t what he got a man is what he gives
And when gives it all and it still ain’t enough then he’s the one to blame and no one gives a shit
Never leave a man behind
We all crack and break within the hands of time
I got axe to grind
With anybody tryna identify as a guy if they chromosomes ain’t XY
You will never understand, what it’s like for a man, gotta fight with your hands, wanna cry but you can’t, if it’s right for the fam, you will tighten your pants, provide and romance, you would die whereyou stand
Gotta be the bigger man when there’s problems
Get judged by the money in your wallet
It’s our fault, let’s be honest
We built the world that labelled us toxic
Gotta lead and teach and keep the peace
And fight the fires and be police
When a man gets tired he don’t lay down to sleep
He take all the heat
Don’t complain or retreat
It’s a cold world and it’s hard times and our children inherit the land
If you think that being a boy is just picking a pronoun, you should try being Dad
You could build all the houses and fix all the cars and work till it’s breaking your back
But the hardest job world?
Being a man

I’m a soldier
I’m a soldier, I’m a soldier
(When times get hard, I’m who they call)
I’m a soldier
(I’m the one who they call when the times get hard)
When my backs against the wall I don’t break and I won’t fall
I’m a soldier
(I go to war for my dogs)
I’m a soldier, I’m a soldier
I’m a soldier
(I’m a give you my all just don’t break my heart)
I’m a soldier I’m a soldier
I’m a soldier

[CHORUS]

Dax:

Battling feelings I can’t even show
weight of the world on my shoulders
is crushing me people around me
they don’t even know we
I put on this cape, then go save everybody while I’m being shattered
and all of my bones take on the pressure
of being the hero who saves
but has no one help with his own
Demons inside that try to eat him alive
I’m going insane and when I’m out my mind
I look at stars and talk to God in the sky
I wait on his words, but I don’t get a reply.
I try to refrain from diving deep, so I
hold back tears that try to come
out my eyes in this world as a man
where we know we can’t cry
cause the people we love
look in us to confide so I’m
Silently screaming for help.
Life is a battle inside of these trenches, especially when fighting it all by yourself PTSD from the memories
people who left you for dead,
and then drag you through hell
leaving you shocked deep inside of a shell with stories you hate but nobody to tell
while you question God
if your soul you should sell.


[CHORUS]

#theabyss #anxiety #whatislife #dax #life #god lyrics:

Everything I ever did I always gave it my best
I don’t know if anyone relates but the feeling that I get is like a truck sitting on my chest
wondering how much do I got left
My last call
my last step
I’m not gonna wait just to see what’s next I go hard cuz today could be my last breath
We do life and we can’t relive it
We only get one chance if you blink then you might just miss it
Many people come and go they all just visit
don’t ever expect nothing different
Just listen as I paint this image that you’ll all revisit
ya my glass half empty but I'm still might sip it
I was traumatized
What would you of said when you was looking in my mommas eyes?
Nothing
Ya I might of said I was ok but I probably lied
So this pain is how I harmonize
Making impact that’s what I personify and yes I’m making music that you cannot just defined by the numbers on my Spotify
All of this pain I just wanna be happy
momma almost died the same day that she had me
Driving to hospital she swerved and crashed badly
Doctor said I miracle while looking at my daddy
I was zero when I first dodged death
I was 6 when the devil told me watch my Step
Couldn’t sleep I was scared to go inside my bed
Fighting demons i was hearing things my head
So back to doctor he didn’t have a diagnosis
So my whole damn life I felt lost while fighting psychosis
Talking to myself hoping nobody would notice
Mom said pray every time heard the voices
Life or death everyday I swear I made choices
Knife in my hand trying not to lose focus
Playing basketball religiously to drown out the noises man
Lemme Explain that Its like laying on train tracks
Grabbing Guns contemplating blowing ya brain back
Eyes Closed shut watching everything fade black
people stepping over you you feel like a place mat
And Let make it clear
God is the only one that I’ve ever feared
But you start to get paranoid and look over ya shoulder when these people have been hurting you for so many years
So I had to escape
If you listening I know that you relate
It’s that feeling that you get like your life and existence was all just one big mistake
I felt trapped and I couldn’t find space
I went and got lost in the things I’d create
Ever since I was a kid
People hated and they judged everything that I did
So I went into my mind and created the abyss
Man I swear I did
how the hell you think I make all hits
It’s cause I’ve been broken, beaten, Dragged, laughed at, scorned, burned and kicked
So I get reach in this endless pit
Of Hurt and pain from all that sh*t
And that’s the only reason that you people come here or for Gods sake even know that Dax exists
This is how it feels to drown
This is how it looks when your lost and you can’t be found
The abyss was a place I’d visit but I went so much that I’m gone and I’m stuck here now
This is not music
This is not doped
This is me begging y’all to throw me a rope
So I can try to climb out the place where I came in life when I spiraled and first lost hope
Let me explain
I’ve been dax so long I get ptsd when somebody says my real name
But I guess that’s the price you pay
I didn’t want to be like this
But I guess it is what it is
Inside the abyss

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LYRICS:

I remember what you said
that shit tore me to peices
That I was something that you wanted
but not really needed
I used pray for someone like you
could of sworn I was dreaming
Then I woke up and I realized
You were one of those demons
Now I’m contemplating life
and wondering whats ahead
If it’s without you
I might choose to not live it instead
You gave me life
and without you
I fucking feel like I’m dead
And as I’m writing this song
I’m currently trapped in my head
And now it’s dead weight
Ya it hurts
I don’t understand why we just couldn’t work
Wish that we could speak
but I can’t find words
You know that I’m hurt
and you don’t care
and that just makes it worse
So when I see you smile
I fill my cup and write another verse
battling myself and evil thoughts
tried to spend my life with you
I didn’t know what it would cost
Should of never came to Cali
never opened up my heart
wish I never found love
cuz I never would of lost
This this everyday
Ask myself why didn’t she stay
Looking up to heaven
asking God to take away this pain
I know that I love you and I know that you don’t feel the same
and that’s what’s killing me inside
and causing me to go insane
Said we’re too different
Told me we would never work
Always put me second
I would sprint but couldn’t finish first
Got to comfortable and let my guard down
When you realized I did
you took my feelings
and you threw em in the fucking dirt
Matching tattoos
I can’t believe that you convinced me
Now you’re gone
and it’s the only thing
that keeps you here with me
Ya hate but I love you,
you left but still see me
If you needed it right now
I’d still give you my kidney
I’m lost
can’t wanna see another woman I’m blind, and if I do Gods gonna have to
pry open my eyes
You gon’ laugh and say I’m weak
until you realize and find
that sharing love is the meaning
and whole purpose of life
And when you do and hear this song
You will cry and sing along
and realize that
you don’t wanna die old alone
And I’ll be here still writing on my phone
Isolated in home
drunk half way gone screaming
I STILL LOVE YOU!
And wouldn’t put no one above you
Even though you fucking lied
something in me still trusts you
I would die for you kill for you
end my whole career
they could cut off both my arms
And I’d still find a way to hug you
I don’t mean to make this music
but it’s something that I must do
FUCK YOU!
I MOTHERFUCKING HATE THAT I LOVE YOU
I only run to you cause I can’t run from you
You took my child away
He was my fucking son too.
I hate that I love you
I hate that I love you

#realman #dax #masculinity #manhood #relationships #masculine #men lyrics:

Yeah she says she wants a real man
One who opens up the door holds her hand
And still smiles when he feels bad
In control of his emotions
Wears his heart on his sleeve
but don’t get mad
One who gives her all his time
Puts his dreams to the side
And gets a real bag
Yeah she says she wants a real man
But what she wants is not for real man

Realest story ever told
can’t have a man who’s
making money always home
Heart like a truck
that’s why he’s always on the road
providing everything you need
to live the life you say you want
Can’t have a man who wears
his heart on a sleeve
that won’t rip once a while at the seams
Especially if you never take the time
To look into his eyes
And hear him when he silently screams

Yeah she says she wants a real man
One who opens up the door holds her hand
And still smiles when he feels bad
In control of his emotions
Wears his heart on his sleeve
but don’t get mad
One who gives her all his time
Puts his dreams to the side
And gets a real bag
Yeah she says she wants a REAL MAN
But what she wants is not for REAL MAN

That Disney movie that she wanted
Was a dream and not reality
or something that she got
She put that man up on a pedestal
Discards him when she
found out he was human then he dropped
He’s not perfect
But oh he tries
To live up to her beautiful lie
But as time goes by
He’ll realize
The man he once knew
on the inside him died

Yeah she says she wants a real man
One who opens up the door holds her hand
And still smiles when he feels bad
In control of his emotions
Wears his heart on his sleeve
but don’t get mad
One who gives her all his time
Puts his dreams to the side
And gets a real bag
Yeah she says she wants a REAL MAN
But what she wants is not for REAL MAN

Love is patient
Love is kind
Can be evil and also blind
God made man then said in life
He’ll find good things
When he finds his wife
So as a real man broken and confused
Struggling not knowing what to do
He dove to the bottom of the bottle
Drowned in his sorrows
And prayed one day she would rescue
By stop pointing out all his mistakes
Be the place he felt safe
To express the emotions
The world said he can’t
He’s the rock that she needs
But she hammers away
At the love that he has
Like she wants it to break
Despite all of the pain
He twisted and changed
Trying to become
the whole picture she paints
Till she woke up one day
Said she’s walking away
Looked him dead in the face
and then screamed

That she says she wants a real man
One who opens up the door holds her hand
And still smiles when he feels bad
In control of his emotions
Wears his heart on his sleeve
but don’t get mad
One who gives her all his time
Puts his dreams to the side
And gets a real bag
Yeah she says she wants a REAL MAN
But what she wants is not for REAL MAN
