EVEN HOLDING

Buddy joined the army long before he was a man
gave up the end of his youth just to have a fighting chance
well he made it back alive but they filled him up with meds
now he lies awake all night and spends his days lost in a trance

His wife had tried to comfort him by laying by his side
but everywhere she touched each fingertip was like a knife
he tried to kick the fentanyl by switching to the pipe
but the VA wouldn't go for it, he said his hands were tied

Is this how it's done?
Is this how it's won?
Are we even holding on?

Up the street Jake had an aching in his belly months ago
but he couldn't pay the doctor, didn't have the hmo
everyone was going to the bar but he went home alone
if he could sleep it off just one more night, tomorrow it'd be gone

Jenna showed up at his house he wasn't answering his phone
but when she crawled into his bed and grabbed his hand it was a stone
I wish it wasn't true, but that's the way the story goes
A beating heart's  a privilege not everyone can afford

Is this how it's done?
Is this how it's won?
Are we even holding on?
