take me under… drag me below… wash me out… leave me hollow… let it die… i built a war inside my chest every breath a failing test lines are drawn beneath my skin no one sees the war within buried thoughts that claw and scream tear apart what i have been every step a fracture line crossing into hostile mind no retreat, no way around stand my ground or drown me down this is war inside my head burn it out or die instead this is war no ceasefire tear it down through blood and fire voices sharpen like a blade every choice a debt unpaid marching through a hollow frame calling out my broken name no surrender left to give kill the past or never live every scar a map of lies cut it out or let it rise no escape, no turning back stay the course or fade to black this is war inside my head burn it out or die instead this is war no ceasefire tear it down through blood and fire let it sink, let it fall let it fade beneath it all what i was, let it drown pull it under, drag it down no more breath for what has been wash it out beneath the skin this is war inside my head burn it out or die instead this is war no ceasefire tear it down through blood and fire lay me down beneath the tide let the current pull me wide what i was is laid to rest empty hands and hollow chest no return, no second breath i made peace with what is left
