Ladies and gentlemen, the eagle has landed

Intro (soft spoken)
5am and the 
Eagle has landed.”

“The theatre is active.” 

“All units prepare.”   

I said all units prepare,

0500 and the president is in the head

Huge whoosh.

Boom.
Boom.

“War in my head.”
Mmmmmm.mmmm…mmmm.mmm.mmmm
Yeah…
There’s about to be war in my head.
But I’m still in command.

Verse 1
Wake up before the day begins,
Same fight waitin’ under my skin,
No sirens loud, no blood or 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.

Chorus (slow, honest)
It’s a war in my head — night and day,
Every thought got somethin’ 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.

Verse 2
I replay words I should’ve let die,
Lose whole hours just wonderin’ 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, take my seat,
I’m the one in charge when they all speak.
Mmmmmmm.mmmmmm.mmmmm

Pre-Chorus (new, subtle flex)
Secret Service at the door of my mind,
Not every thought’s allowed inside.

Chorus
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 movin’, yeah I tread,
Through the war that lives in my head.

Bridge (spoken, powerful but calm)
I don’t need saving…
I need order.
I’m Commander-in-Chief
Of my own disorder.

Verse 3
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 learn to defend,
Not every war’s meant to be won,
Some you manage — and keep goin’.

Final Chorus (resolved, strong)
It’s a war in my head — but hear me now,
I’m still breathin’, still standin’ 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 till the very end.

Outro (soft hum)
Mmmmm… mmm…
Still here.
Still in charge.
