Title: “The Battlefield”
⸻
(Intro - battlefield drums)
Verse 1
I spent years on the edge of a choice
Holding back, afraid of my own voice
Called it patience, called it fate
But really, I was just too late
To leave, to speak,
to draw a line
I let the moment pass each time
⸻
Verse 2
I Reached for bodies when the night got cold
I needed warmth to fill this big black hole
I Called it love, but it was fear
A way to keep from looking inside here
The truth was quiet, sharp, and real
The truth was quiet, sharp, and real
⸻
Chorus
It’s not that I was passive—I saw it all too clear
The knowing and not acting—that’s the war right here
I don’t run from what I use to feel
Fighting battles with my self
my life
The battlefield
⸻
Verse 3
One year now, I’ve stood my ground
Dug through the baggage of what I’ve left around
Faced with the lies I used to say
Found the strength and chased my ghost away
I stayed through the darkest part of all I could see
To become the man inside of me
I want to be that man inside of me
⸻
Chorus
It’s not that I was passive—I saw it all too clear
The knowing and not acting—that’s the war right here
I don’t run from what I use to feel
Fighting battles with my self
my life
The battlefield
⸻
Bridge
The mirror don’t lie—it just waits
Shows the cost of my mistakes
It’s not the world that made these cracks
(Spoken)It was the man in the mirror looking back
Im done looking back
⸻
Chorus
It’s not that I was passive—I saw it all too clear
The knowing and not acting—that’s the war right here
I don’t run from what I now feel
Fighting battles with my self
my life
The battlefield
The battlefield
(Spoken) the battlefield
