[Intro] Static in my bloodstream Can’t tell if I’m awake or daydreaming Everybody says “you’ll be okay” But my mind keeps pulling me the other way [Verse 1] My body says move but my head says freeze Heart beats heavy like a storm in me Smile on my face while I’m breaking apart Tryna duct tape cracks around my heart Every little thought turns into a fight Wide awake at like 4 in the night I’m exhausted but I can’t slow down Feels like I’m drowning without making a sound [Pre-Chorus] And I scream inside my room Like the walls already know the truth I’m so tired of surviving When my soul feels split in two [Chorus] My head and my body are at war again One wants peace, one wants the pain Running in circles inside my skin I don’t know where the hell I fit in Stuck in a battle I can’t defend Tryna heal while I self-destruct again Everybody sees me smile pretend But they don’t hear the war within (The war within) (The war within) [Post-Chorus] The war within… The war within… Can somebody save me from the war within? [Verse 2] I got ten different voices in my brain Half say leave, half say stay the same Too many feelings, nowhere to go So I hide them underneath the overload Phone screen glow in a dark bedroom Late-night chaos and perfume fumes Tell my friends that I’m “doing alright” Then disappear for days at a time [Pre-Chorus] Every heartbeat sounds like panic Every emotion turns volcanic I keep trying to escape myself But I can’t outrun this damage [Chorus] My head and my body are at war again One wants peace, one wants the pain Running in circles inside my skin I don’t know where the hell I fit in Stuck in a battle I can’t defend Tryna heal while I self-destruct again Everybody sees me smile pretend But they don’t hear the war within (The war within) (The war within) [Bridge] If I could shut my mind off for a minute Maybe I’d finally know what silence is But every night feels like a riot in my chest And I’m so sick of fighting with myself (Fighting with myself) (Fighting with myself) [Final Chorus] My head and my body are at war again But I’m still here, I’m breathing in Maybe scars don’t mean the end Maybe I can learn to live with them Even when the darkness hits Even when my whole world slips I won’t let this battle win I’m more than the war within (More than the war within) (More than the war within) [Outro] The war within… Still breathing through the war within…
