(Verse 1)
Been starin’ at the ceiling at 2 a.m.
Heart feels heavy, mind’s a loaded gun
I blame the town, the times, the shape I’m in
But the war I’m fightin’ ain’t under my skin
They say the world’s on fire, skies turnin’ gray
But nobody’s talkin’ ’bout the mess in my brain
I chase a feelin’, try to numb the pain
But every bad road starts with what I think
(Bridge)
Yeah, I learned the hard way, truth cuts deep
As a man thinks, that’s the man he’ll be
(Chorus)
My thoughts control my life, but I can take ’em back
If I change what I’m believin’, I can change my tracks
Ain’t gonna find the fix in a bar or a pill
It don’t start on the outside, it starts in my will
If I want real change, I gotta face the truth
It don’t start with my habits, it starts with my view
Yeah, the fight ain’t the world, it’s the war in my head
If I want my life to change, it starts in my head
(Verse 2)
Every fear I feed keeps growin’ roots
Every lie I buy feels like the truth
Just one more drink, just a little line
Just one more time, “man, I’ll be fine”
But temptation whispers, knows my name
Plays on my wants, then hands me chains
I keep pointin’ fingers, blamin’ hell
When the enemy’s starin’ back from the mirror I’m in
(Bridge)
Every time I fall, I believed a lie
Thought it felt right, but it kills me inside
(Chorus)
My thoughts control my life, but I can take ’em back
If I change what I’m believin’, I can change my tracks
Ain’t gonna find the fix in a bar or a pill
It don’t start on the outside, it starts in my will
If I want real change, I gotta face the truth
It don’t start with my habits, it starts with my view
Yeah, the fight ain’t the world, it’s the war in my head
If I want my life to change, it starts in my head
(Verse)
Jesus walked this dirt, He knows my pain
Felt every hurt, wore every chain
Said if I get my heart and mind aligned
I’ll see God movin’ right in my life
If I resist, it only sticks around
So I lift my eyes when hope breaks down
Repent means turn, think brand new
Change my mind, let God change me too
(Bridge)
There’s a way that looks right, but it leads to the grave
Truth don’t change just ’cause I’m afraid
If the Spirit’s in my mind, there’s life and peace
If my flesh runs the show, it’s killin’ me
(Final Chorus)
My thoughts control my life, but I ain’t alone
God’s word’s a weapon when the dark comes on
I ain’t gonna fight like the world does now
I’m usin’ heaven’s armor, layin’ pride down
If I wanna feel new, I gotta think new too
Start actin’ like the man God’s callin’ me to
Yeah, the war ain’t outside, it’s the truth I said
If I want my life revived, it starts in my head
(Outro)
God, refresh me, recover my sight
Revive this soul in the dead of night
If I want real change till my last breath
It don’t start out there…
It starts in my head
