Nobody's Hero - The Strange Familiar video free download
Nobody's Hero is a song inspired by an article I read about an American soldier returning home from Iraq, who was struggling with PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder - http://www.mattbattaglia.com/Marlboro-Marine.html - He faced the horrors of war, but the battle was far from over when he returned. The song is written from his perspective. Many soldiers suffer with PTSD. We've played this slideshow several times during our live shows. It is dedicated to all who bravely serve our country. They are true heroes.
Lyrics:
You wonder how you ended up here
Wandering through steps you can't retrace
Memories scream
Caged in your head
Haunted by ghosts you cannot face
You feel their pain as the bullets cut through
Asking yourself
Why couldn't it have been you
And you're nobody's hero
You wear your heart on your sleeve
You wear it out til it bleeds
You're tattooed with excuses
You're dying to believe
You hold your hand on your chest
Pledge allegiance with regret
You have all of the bruises
To prove you deserve
A second chance
You know you can't hide
From what you've become
Every day is like a sentence you've earned
No camouflage
Can cover your lies
You can't forget all the lessons you learned
Relive the pain
As the silence cuts through
Asking how much more can this world take from you
And you're nobody's hero
You wear your heart on your sleeve
You wear it out til it bleeds
You're tattooed with excuses
You're dying to believe
You hold your hand on your chest
Pledge allegiance with regret
You have all of the bruises
To prove you deserve
A second chance
And you know
You got nothing left
But you'd give anything to forget
You wear your heart on your sleeve
You wear it out til it bleeds
You're tattooed with excuses
You're dying to believe
You hold your hand on your chest
Pledge allegiance with regret
You have all of the bruises
To prove you deserve
A second chance
And you're nobody's hero
You didn't ask for this
You didn't ask for this
And you're nobody's hero

I could never say thank u enough. This song and video touched my heart. My brother has been deployed since October. I can tell already that it has greatly changed him. I'm so scared that war ha broken something inside him. He's coming home in a few months. I pray that he'll be ok or will get help if he needs it. Again thank you and God bless11 years ago

@UFOFrenzy Sure you were there. Guess you were hiding out. Frankly we do not care what you think, because you do not think. We feel sorry for people like you, so uninformed, uneducated, inadequate. It is a pity you feel such hate, for people you know nothing about. I suppose you get paid for every comment you make online. We understand that you try to feel important. So God bless you. We do not depend on you are cowards like you. Just keep wasting your time, and making minimum wage. God bless12 years ago

@UFOFrenzy and no I myself, nor my husband or the men and women in his battalion have tortured ANYONE. Have SOME members of U.S forces tortured innocent people over there? Disgustingly yes, and I hope they are punished for their war crimes because they are sick individuals giving our good men and women a bad name. But grouping ALL Americans or soldiers into one category is like me saying ALL muslims are resposible for 9/11 or that ALL Afghani people are terrorists...which wouldnt be true.12 years ago

@UFOFrenzy umm...9/11 happened first. Check the dates. Afghanistan as a country didnt bomb us smart ass, Al Queda did, which is why we went after Al Queda...which just happened to be occupying Afghanistan. And we arent at war with the country, we are at war with the terrorist organizations occupying those countries...we went to fight terrorists who not only attacked us but make a habit out of killing their own people and attacking other countries as well...12 years ago
