I FEEL IT CRAWLING under my skin IT’S WAR OR FALLING I know I can’t win Scratch that quiet itch that never ends When the flame burns hot, the pain digs in MARCH FORWARD don’t break stride I found my purpose in the crash IN THE COLLIDE Every scar feeds that flame If I survive history will know my name Everything slows but it doesn't stay still it cuts through the silence I won't give in a low-born storm that will never win don’t pull me out when it starts to rise I can feel it welling up inside I’m waiting for the next fight I’m waiting to see the light I don’t feel alive in the calm I only feel it when it’s gone I’m waiting for the next war I'm waiting only wanting more If this is what I was meant to be don’t take the war from me Call it a sickness call it a role, call it my weakness they say stand down but I never learned how command still echoes even with no voice now faces I buried keep rewriting my sleep they don’t stay dead— just put it on repeat and I swear I’m not chasing that high anymore I’m just scared of who I am when its all on the cutting room floor NO PEACE NO STILLNESS NO SILENCE IN ME I HEAR IT I NEED IT IT WON’T LET ME BE NO HOME NO REST NO GROUND I DON’T STOP WHEN IT’S OVER—I WON'T BACK DOWN Everything went quiet too fast like the sky forgot to fight back No orders echoing in my ears now just the sound of me breaking down I used to think I was built for this now I don’t understand what the fuck this is don’t let it settle don’t let it fade I feel it coming back in waves I can feel it underneath my skin again it’s calling me back where it always begins I’m waiting for the next fight I’m waiting to see the light I don’t feel alive in the calm I only feel it when it’s gone I’m waiting for the next war I'm waiting only wanting more If this is what I was meant to be don’t take the war from me
