The War Inside Me

Giving in is easy. So try to take the road less traveled. Verse 1 I know this road, I've walked it blind, A thousand times, the same damn signs. I swear I'll change, I swear I'm through, Then wake up where I always do. I hide the cracks beneath my skin, Pretend I'm fine, then fall again. Every promise that I make Becomes another thing I break. Pre-Chorus And I don't know How many times I can start again. I'm losing ground To something I've carried within. Chorus I'M TIRED OF FIGHTING MYSELF, TIRED OF BEING SOMEONE ELSE. Every time I try to change, I find another way to stay the same. I'M TIRED OF LOSING CONTROL, DIGGING THESE HOLES IN MY SOUL. If there's still something left of me, I need to find it— Before I disappear completely. Verse 2 There's someone staring through the glass, Wearing every piece of my past. I know the eyes, I know the face, But something in them feels misplaced. I trace the damage back again, Every choice and every bend. I keep asking where I went wrong, How I've been lost for this damn long. Pre-Chorus And I don't know How much of me is really left. I've carried this Until there's nothing in my chest. Chorus I'M TIRED OF FIGHTING MYSELF, TIRED OF BEING SOMEONE ELSE. Every time I try to change, I find another way to stay the same. I'M TIRED OF LOSING CONTROL, DIGGING THESE HOLES IN MY SOUL. If there's still something left of me, I need to find it— Before I disappear completely. Verse 3 Maybe I don't need a reason. Maybe I don't need the blame. Maybe all these years of running Only kept me in the same place. I can't erase what came before me. I can't undo what I became. But if tomorrow finds me breathing, I don't want to wake up the same. Bridge NO MORE PROMISES. NO MORE LIES. NO MORE SAYING I'LL CHANGE WHILE SOMETHING IN ME DIES. I KNOW THE ENEMY. I KNOW ITS NAME. I'VE SEEN IT EVERY MORNING STARING BACK INTO MY FACE. And if one of us Has to die tonight— LET IT BE THE PART OF ME THAT KEEPS ME TRAPPED INSIDE. Final Chorus I'M DONE WITH FIGHTING MYSELF, DONE WITH BEING SOMEONE ELSE. I don't know who I'll become, But I know what I have to leave behind. I'M DONE WITH LOSING CONTROL, DONE LETTING DARKNESS TAKE HOLD. There's still something left of me, And for the first time— I think I finally want to see. Outro I know this road. I know these signs. But I don't have To walk them every time. Tomorrow might still hurt like hell... But tonight, I choose which one survives.
