The War Came Home · Track 03

Shattered Lens

The song examines how trauma can make danger feel present everywhere, then begins separating necessary wartime instincts from the peace required to live again.

Why this song exists Placed as chapter 3 of 9, between “When the Night Goes Quiet” and “Wounded, But Still Going,” it advances The War Came Home through its wound / the soldier returns arc rather than standing as an isolated song.
