This song follows a war-worn survivor who keeps moving because stopping would mean facing the weight of loss, guilt, and memories he can’t escape. Walking becomes both refuge and punishment—a desperate attempt to outrun grief, until the pain finally forces him to break and feel what he’s been carrying.

Song Lyrics
×
(Strophe)
I kissed the door goodbye, but hell, I never felt so torn.
Didn't sign up to be a hero, just a man already worn.
They shoved a rifle in my hands, said, "Go stand in the line".
But every mile I marched felt like I left more of me behind.
Nights were cold and loud, sleep was something I once knew.
Got dragged through mud and metal, paid my soul just to pull through.
I saw my brothers breaking, felt the iron on my Skin.
And when they finally let me go, I wasn't who I'd been.
(Refrain)
And I keep walking, walking, Walking.
Till the world around me fades.
Yeah, I keep walking, walking, Walking.
Trying to outrun all these graves.
If there's a place where the pain stops Talking.
I'll crawl or fall or break my way.
I keep walking, walking, Walking.
Just to make the noise go away.
(Strophe)
I made it home in pieces, hoping love could stitch me Right.
But the house was dark and hollow, no warm shadow in the light.
They said she faded slowly, like a whisper losing Breath.
And I stood there like a ghost, staring straight into her death.
Walls were closing in, every memory cut Deep.
So I walked out through the fields, past the fences, past the creek.
Just kept moving with the silence, trying hard to numb the Sound.
Of every choice I couldn't change, buried six feet in the ground.
(Refrain)
And I keep walking, walking, Walking.
Till the world around me fades.
Yeah, I keep walking, walking, Walking.
Trying to outrun all these graves.
If there's a place where the pain stops Talking.
I'll crawl or fall or break my way.
I keep walking, walking, Walking.
Just to make the noise go away.
(Strophe)
And somewhere out in nowhere I dropped down to my knees.
Let the weight of all the years finally crush the rest of me.
Tears I never learned to cry came burning through the night.
And I broke for the first time in my life.
(Refrain)
And I keep walking, walking, Walking.
Till the world around me fades.
Yeah, I keep walking, walking, Walking.
Trying to outrun all these graves.
If there's a place where the pain stops Talking.
I'll crawl or fall or break my way.
I keep walking, walking, Walking.
Just to make the noise go away.
I kissed the door goodbye, but hell, I never felt so torn.
Didn't sign up to be a hero, just a man already worn.
They shoved a rifle in my hands, said, "Go stand in the line".
But every mile I marched felt like I left more of me behind.
Nights were cold and loud, sleep was something I once knew.
Got dragged through mud and metal, paid my soul just to pull through.
I saw my brothers breaking, felt the iron on my Skin.
And when they finally let me go, I wasn't who I'd been.
(Refrain)
And I keep walking, walking, Walking.
Till the world around me fades.
Yeah, I keep walking, walking, Walking.
Trying to outrun all these graves.
If there's a place where the pain stops Talking.
I'll crawl or fall or break my way.
I keep walking, walking, Walking.
Just to make the noise go away.
