LYRICS:
Here stands a man
at the bottom of a hole he's made
still sweating from the rush

his body tense
his hands, they shake
oh this, this is a mad boy

Here stands a man
with a bullet in his clenched right hand
don't push in son
for he's got the power to crush these lands
oh here, hear him cry boy

Don't you ever leave me alone
my war is over
be my shelter from the storm
my war is over
I am a sad boy

Here stands a man
at the bottom of a hole he's made
still sweating from the rush
his body tense
his hands they shake
oh this, this is the mad boy

Here stands a man
with a bullet in his clenched right hand
but don't push him son
for he's got the power to crash these lands
oh here, hear him cry boy

Don't you ever leave me alone
my war is over
be my shelter from the storm
my war is over
I am a sad boy

Don't you ever leave me alone
be my shelter from the storm
my war is over
I am a sad boy

The War is about being okay admitting we want someone to love us in the way we wish we could love ourselves.

[Mushijules]

One best songs I have listen in blacklist

[barbaravukovic]

Why is no one talking how incredible the actors are!

[breannahpresley]

I absolutely love this song. It was such a pleasure and amazing opportunity to be in this music video!!

[gabriellea]

To me this song could be in a movie or a book in an epic scene where the hero is at his lowest point. They right when everything seems lost, he gets up, determination on his face and whether it’s a sword he wields or some power of epic proportions he uses it. The song is in the perspective of a storyteller, telling a story of a young boy who conquered his demons and with nothing but sure will he rose up out of the ashes.

[nomadic.a]

A song drifts beyond limited interpretation.. i see in this song, my big brother who made me see the world itself. But got into depression and bipolar for a long time til he got stuck in his extreme ideas away from reality. The one who showed me the reality, lost it and lived just to eat and sleep after a long gazing to the wall for his entire day. Im gazing too, but not at the wall... at him.

Here stands a man
At the bottom of a hole he's made
Still sweating from the rush
His body tense
His hands, they shake
Oh this, this is a mad boy

Here stands a man
With a bullet in his clenched right hand
Don't push him, son
For he's got the power to crush this land
Oh hear, hear him cry, boy

Don't you ever leave me alone
My war is over
Be my shelter from the storm
My war is over
I am a sad boy

Here stands a man
At the bottom of a hole he's made
Still sweating from the rush
His body tense
His hands, they shake
Oh this, this is a mad boy

Here stands a man
With a bullet in his clenched right hand
But don't push him, son
For he's got the power to crush this land
Oh hear, hear him cry, boy

Don't you ever leave me alone
My war is over
Be my shelter from the storm
My war is over
I am a sad boy

Don't you ever leave me alone
Be my shelter from the storm
My war is over
I am a sad boy

I like to imagine that SYML stands for...
Say Yes My Love 🧡
Only in my world, but I'd say yes for our eternity.

[sleepyhead]

I have to say that this is one of the most touching songs I've ever heard. I do not even know how to describe it but it feels like the more I listen to it, the deeper it sinks into my body and my soul.
So beautiful.

[luxxyerii]

“ With a bullet in his clinched right hand” Oh my god this part struck me idk why

[Nike.Crystalia]

I LOVE HOW MANY STORY TELLING YOU MADE WITH YOUR SONG FOR REAL T_T

[idiotsepeidiot]

Love it! Blacklist made me listen to this!

[selmandeyanayih]

My favorite. I can’t believe this came out last year and I just discovered it this month.

[gabe_liu]

The Blacklist! i cried, i knew the music and his voice sound so familiar, adding this to my favorite with Better and Where's My Love!

[sedda]

I just can't find words to describe how this song is tearing me apart. I'm charged with feelings of needing love, sadness, a little hope, loving someone from the bottom of their heart, begging to be given and at the same wanting to give.... I'm mesmerized. I love this song.

[MandyGood]

I wish there were more songs like this. It’s so powerful.

[pebble]

this song is so beautiful, the first time I heard it I was reading and I had to put my book down and just listen. it honestly brought me to tears

[waynekelly]

Man I I'm just so amazed at how incredible this song is . This song brought out feelings that I thought were long gone . It was like the dam exploded and the emotions just hit me like a tidal wave it was very over whelming . I heard this song on the Blacklist and I instantly became a fan right on the spot . What an awesome voice and one hell of a artist .

[waynekelly]

This song is so beautiful it makes me cry every time I listen to it and yes men are aloud to cry when a song touches their heart .

[Dillie_Gh]
