[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I wake up tired before I even start,
Building a fortress around a heavy heart.
The mirror shows a stranger with familiar eyes,
A veteran of a thousand silent goodbyes.
I lace my boots and step into the day,
Washing the ash of yesterday away.
Nobody sees the heavy trenches that I dig,
The enemy is quiet, but the shadow is big.

[Pre-Chorus]
There is no white flag, there is no retreat,
Just the sound of my own heartbeat!
I'm patching the armor, ignoring the bleed,
Doing exactly what I need!

[Chorus]
This is the war that never makes the news!
The daily battles I refuse to lose!
I am still breathing, I’m holding the line,
Taking the hits by my own design!
It’s a lifetime campaign, an endless fight,
Keeping the darkness away from the light!
I am the castle, I am the breach,
Surviving the invisible siege!

[Verse 2]
Sometimes the hardest thing is just to smile,
To carry the weight another lonely mile.
They tell you to surrender, let the water win,
But they don't know the steel that is under the skin.
It's chemical warfare inside of my veins,
A beautiful wreckage, a symphony of chains.
I know the monster is never really gone,
But I take a breath, and I carry it on.

[Pre-Chorus]
There is no white flag, there is no retreat,
Just the sound of my own heartbeat!
I'm patching the armor, ignoring the bleed,
Doing exactly what I need!

[Bridge]
I thought the peace would come with age.
I thought I'd finally turn the page.
But the war doesn't end, it just changes shape...
There is no rescue. There is no escape.
[Buildup]
SO I BECOME THE WEAPON!
I BECOME THE BLADE!
I OWN THE SCARS OF THE CHOICES I MADE!

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
This is the war that never makes the news!
The daily battles I refuse to lose!
I am still breathing, I’m holding the line,
Taking the hits by my own design!
It’s a lifetime campaign, an endless fight,
Keeping the darkness away from the light!
I am the castle, I am the breach,
Surviving the invisible siege!

[Outro]
(I am the castle...)
Still breathing.
(I am the breach...)
