Eagle has landed
The theatre is active
All units prepare
War in my head
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm
Yeah
There’s a war in my head
But I’m still in command
⸻
Wake up tired before the day begins
Same fight waiting under my skin
No sirens loud no blood no lead
Just a thousand voices in my head
Some say go
Some say stay
Some say run
Some say pray
I look calm
I look fine instead
But there’s a war in my head
⸻
It’s a war in my head
Night and day
Every thought got something to say
I don’t wear medals
I don’t bleed red
But I fight for peace inside my head
Yeah I smile
Yeah I still stand
Hand to hand with who I am
⸻
I replay words I should have let die
Lose whole hours wondering why
I make plans then I second guess
Carry hope right next to stress
I don’t always know which voice is me
Which one’s fear which one’s memory
But I sit up straight
I take my seat
I’m the one in charge when they all speak
Secret Service at the door of my mind
Not every thought’s allowed inside
⸻
It’s a war in my head
Quiet and loud
I fight alone in a faceless crowd
No ceasefire signed
No white flag waved
Just me and the thoughts I try to tame
Yeah I keep moving
Yeah I tread
Through the war that lives in my head
⸻
I don’t need saving
I need order
I’m Commander in Chief
Of my own disorder
⸻
Some days I win
Some days I crawl
Some days I don’t feel strong at all
But I still get up
I still decide
Which thoughts get airtime
Which ones slide
I’ve learned this much from the battles I’ve bled
The mind’s a place you gotta defend
Not every war is meant to be won
Some you manage
And keep going
⸻
It’s a war in my head
But hear me now
I’m still breathing
Still standing proud
I don’t fight to be perfect or dead
I fight to live with what’s in my head
Yeah the noise might never end
But I’m in command
Until the end
Mmm mmm
Still here
Still in charge
