The War Came Home · Track 01

The War Came Home

It names the hypervigilance, isolation, and relational damage survival carried home, while refusing to confuse the wound with the man who bears it.

Why this song exists As the opening chapter of The War Came Home, it establishes the album’s wound / the soldier returns arc and frames the governing question—“Why is the war still here when the war is over?”—before the record moves into “When the Night Goes Quiet.”
