War Within

[Intro]  
In the quiet of my mind, there’s a tempest brewing,  
A battle with shadows, it’s a war I’m losing.  
Fighting my own reflection, can’t find the way,  
Echoes of a soldier who forgot how to stay.  
[Verse 1]  
Every step I take feels like a landmine,  
Each choice I make, I’m caught in a bind.  
Thoughts like bullets flying in the dark,  
Can’t find the light, just a fading spark.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
Images of what I was, clash with what I see,  
A voice inside whispers, “When will you be free?”  
[Chorus]  
I’m at war with myself, can’t find peace in the fight,  
A soldier in the chaos, haunting sleepless nights.  
Searching for salvation in a fractured mind,  
But the armor that I wear just leaves me blind.  
[Verse 2]  
Each day’s a battlefield, scars I can’t hide,  
Chasing a horizon, lost in the tide.  
My dreams turn to ashes, my hopes fade away,  
Caught in the crossfire of who I betrayed.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
But deep in the rubble, there’s a voice inside,  
“Rise from the ashes, you’ve got to decide.”  
[Chorus]  
I’m at war with myself, can’t find peace in the fight,  
A soldier in the chaos, haunting sleepless nights.  
Searching for salvation in a fractured mind,  
But the armor that I wear just leaves me blind.  
[Bridge]  
So I’ll stand tall as the thunder roars,  
Fear’s a fleeting shadow; I’m breaking down doors.  
With every scar, I’m learning to live,  
The war may be raging, but I’ve got more to give.  
[Outro]  
In the calm after storms, I will find my way,  
No longer a soldier, I’ll plunge into the fray.  
The war with myself will transform into light,  
From ashes and ruins, I’ll emerge to ignite.
