# Beyond Duality

### The Battle Within

[Intro – 0:00–0:25]

I built a war inside my mind
I gave it names
I drew the lines

One side to conquer
One side to lose
A thousand voices
Telling me what to choose

[Verse 1 – 0:25–0:55]

I ran from shadows in the light
I fought myself through every night
The more I tried to break the chain
The more I fed the endless game

I wore my fear like armor
I called my weakness strength
I built a wall around my heart
Then wondered why I felt alone

[Pre-Chorus – 0:55–1:15]

I thought the enemy was waiting
Somewhere deep inside of me
But every time I turned to fight it
It was only there because I believed

[Chorus – 1:15–1:50]

I fought the darkness
I fought the light
I fought the wrong
I fought the right

I built a battlefield
Inside my soul
And called it life
And called it control

But what if the war
Was never real?
What if the wound
Was never there to heal?

I keep fighting
I keep running
From a shadow
That was never coming

[Post-Chorus – 1:50–2:05]

No enemy
No other side
No war to win
No place to hide

[Verse 2 – 2:05–2:40]

I split the world in black and white
I needed wrong to prove my right
I needed darkness to find the flame
I needed someone else to blame

I called my ego
My greatest foe
But every time I killed it
Another one would grow

I chased awakening
Like something I could own
Not knowing every step I took
Was leading me back home

[Pre-Chorus 2 – 2:40–3:00]

Then something broke
Behind my eyes
The walls dissolved
The war went quiet

And in the silence
I finally saw
The one I had been fighting
Was the one I was fighting for

[Chorus – 3:00–3:35]

I fought the darkness
I fought the light
I fought the wrong
I fought the right

I built a battlefield
Inside my soul
And called it life
And called it control

But there was no war
There was no foe
Nothing to conquer
Nowhere to go

I stop fighting
I stop running
And the shadow
Turns into the Dawn

[Bridge / Awakening – 3:35–3:55]

Beyond the fear
Beyond the name
Beyond the self
Beyond the game

When there is no other
There is no fight

When there is no fight
There is only light

[Final Outro – 3:55–4:10]

I thought I had to win
To finally be free

But the moment I stopped fighting
I remembered

I was never divided.
