(Intro)
Welcome to the war
(Verse 1)
I’m locked inside a chamber of my own design
Trying to find the line where the stars align
Got the demons on my left and shadows on my right
They’re pullin at my jacket tryin to drag me into the night
I Look in the mirror and hate what I see
Every critic tries to put a price on me
They want the old me, they want the bold me
But nobody asked if I was ever willing!
Yeah, I’m suffocating, looking for a way out
Living in a cycle of misery and self-doubt
You want a front-row seat to watch me collapse?
Well, strap yourself in, 'cause there’s no turnin back!
(Pre-Chorus )
The sirens wail inside my chest
My racing mind can find no rest
I'm runnin dry, I'm burnin out,
I’m fightin My demons and losin my ground
(Chorus )
This is the war! I beg and I plead!
This is the war! Fighting down on my knees!
In the line of the fire, I’ll rise or I’ll fall
I've given up, I've given my all
Welcome to the war!
(Verse 2)
No medals for the trauma, no parade in the rain
Just a list of tragic memories laced with pain
They point at the scars and call it a disgrace
While I’m trying not to scream looking at my own face
Yeah, the armor is thin and the shadows are thick
And the ticking of the clock is making me sick
You think you know the monster that’s living inside?
You haven't seen half of what I’m trying to hide!
I’m about to blow the lid, I’m about to break the cage
Turn pain into power, turn the sorrow into RAGE!
(The Build-up / Pre-Breakdown)
YOU WANT A MONSTER?! WELCOME TO THE SHOW
(Bridge - Heavy Breakdown)
No white flags! No truce!
What the hell is left for me to lose?!
Is anyone left alive?!
Did I just die?!
Or did I survive?!
(Pre-Chorus )
I'm runnin dry, I'm burnin out,
I’m fightin My demons and losin my ground
(Chorus - ultimate climax)
And This is the war! I beg and I plead!
This is the war! Fighting til I bleed!
In the line of the fire, I’ll rise or I’ll fall
I've given up, I've given my all
Welcome to the war!
(Outro - Finale)
In the line of the fire, I’ll rise or I’ll fall
I've given up, I've given my all
