Lyrics
With him, life's a melody, and me? I'm just a shot
Yeah, in VR skies, I'm flying, I'm free
No disability checks defining me
But when the visor lifts, it's the same old scene
An empty house, where love and dreams should've been
Beneath these medals, you see, the heart still beats
But I'm invisible to the world, feeling obsolete
Virtual glory's hollow, it's just a deceit
A daily reminder that my life’s in defeat
Lord, tell me, what's a hero with no war to fight
Tales of war, feelin' like rest is a myth, yo
Uniform hangs, while my life's adrift, bro
Medals of valor, but my soul's so hollow
Echoes of laughter, but it's hard to swallow
Living room’s silent, photos in dust
Trapped in memories, in a hero we trust
Left with ghosts as my company now
A soldier's mind, asking the world 'how?'
Bulletproof vest couldn’t save my nights
Shadows of her love fading out the lights
Back from the fight, but the war ain't done, no
don't recognize the man I've become, yo
Purple Heart but life's unsung, uh
Wife found another, guess I'm outgunned
All these scars, and my health on the decline
In a VR world, I don't feel the flatline
Ethereal escape, but it's just a thin line
From the hurt, from the loss, from her cruel resign
In my headset, I'm a hero, not a castaway
But pixels don't hug back, they don't laugh or play
In my headset, fights I survive, no burden
In virtual worlds where I'm still a person
But outside these goggles, life is uncertain
A walking ghost whose pain keeps worsenin'
Tried to adapt, but the world's fast-forward
Plastic medals, my hollow reward, man
I dream in code, but wake to discordance
Wishin' for a reset, a life restored, yeah
[Chorus]
In digital skies, I can soar, I can rise
But reality's grip, it's a storm that defies
Staring through my visor, prayin' for some light
Wishing this VR world could just be real life
Embracin' avatars, 'cause out here, I'm just a ghost
Every day's a battle, and my mind's the host
The house once filled with love, now a silent gloom
Within these walls, I march to an empty tomb
Screens are my companions, pixels fake a smile
Lost in a digital haven, just for a while
[Chorus]
In a world of code, I numb my mind
But the VR sun can't leave the pain behind
Now I'm pressing keys, but life's no game, see
Every step in the sim, it’s just a fake spree
[Chorus]
I'm a digital ghost, just floatin' through code
Wishin' this virtual lie was the road
I took not to misery, but to carry the load
Of this heavy-hearted life where happiness erode
Outta sync with the world, I'm just a cold glitch
Feelings pixelated, life's just an itch
I can't scratch, 'cause reality's a rich
Man's game, and I'm stuck in this ditch
I'm driftin' through battles where no one can see
My sanity's casualty, endlessly
Veins of circuitry, where I'm strong, not weak
Yet I know, in VR, it's all make-believe
The walls that surround me are prison, not home
A warrior's spirit, not meant to be lone
Crave for her touch, but my wife’s love is gone
She left with my smile, and she ain't coming home
[Chorus]
VR's my refuge, in pixels, I breathe
But no VR can replace her, can't fill the need
