Saving Private Theater

[Verse] Kid in the shadows, sneakers scuffin' the floor, You gotta sneak, not creep, through the back door, Sticky seats, old popcorn, smell of old dreams, Projector flickers, loading scenes on beams. [Verse 2] Riot of bullets, chaos splattered on screen, Private Ryan's world, ain't no average teen, Bombs blare, souls bare, war's a waking scream, Heart thumps louder, beats cut through the steam. [Chorus] War paint on screen, life ain't what it seems, Private Ryan’s fight, shook up all his dreams, Kid was just a ghost, now he’s walking scenes, Battle for the soul, in the silver gleam. [Verse 3] Eyes transfixed, kid can't shift, swallowed by war, Courage born in bullets, every soldier’s lore, Never thought he'd see, life beyond civility, Bullets and blood paint paths to infinity. [Bridge] Mental mettle tested, hearts get invested, In the filigree of fate, sanity contested, Life lessons flashed, vivid and unmolested, War's harsh light, leaves no heart untested. [Chorus] War paint on screen, life ain't what it seems, Private Ryan’s fight, shook up all his dreams, Kid was just a ghost, now he’s walking scenes, Battle for the soul, in the silver gleam.
