War With Myself
(Intro) Yeah... There's a war inside my head And both sides know my name... (Verse 1) I wake up every morning with a fight in the mirror One voice says "quit", the other says "get clearer" I've been running from myself, but I'm always right behind Like a shadow with a knife and a storm in my mind I know all of my weaknesses, I know where they hide Every mistake that I made, every tear that I cried I built walls around my heart just to keep me alive Then I got trapped inside the place I designed I'm my own enemy, my own worst case The judge and the victim with the same damn face I wanted peace, but I started a riot The battlefield is silent, but inside it's violent (Chorus) I'm at war with myself, nobody can see it Fighting my demons, trying not to feed it One side wants love, one side wants pain One wants the sun, one dances in rain I'm at war with myself, I'm breaking the chains Trying to heal while I'm stuck in my ways If I lose this battle, I lose everything But if I win this fight, I'll become a king (Verse 2) I remember every word that I wish I could erase Every failure that still follows me place to place I carry old versions of me on my back Like ghosts from the past trying to pull me back But I learned from the damage, I grew from the cracks Every time I fell down, I came harder back They don't see the struggle behind the smile They don't know I've been fighting myself for a while There's a monster in me, but I gave it a name It was born from the pressure, the fear and the shame I could let it control me, let it take my soul Or I could grab the wheel and take back control (Bridge) Maybe I'm broken Maybe I'm changed Maybe the fire Was born from the pain (Final Chorus) I'm at war with myself, but I'm still standing here After every battle, after every fear I fought my reflection, I fought my past Now I'm building a future that finally lasts I'm at war with myself, but I won't run away I became the warrior I needed that day The enemy inside was the reason I grew I didn't defeat myself... I finally broke through.
