The War
Stumbling off the frontlines
 My eyes are cold and dead
 I push out all the worthless thoughts
 That drift into my head
 
 Always running from retreat
 The answers laughing at my back
 I'm not sure where I'm running to
 But I'll never be on track
 
 There's an old war raging
 My heart is half-way lost
 What else do I have to lose
 Before I pay the final cost
 
 Now alone and waiting
 The battle rages on
 Those who once fought by my side
 Have given up and gone
 
 Never stopping, ever weary
 There's no end in sight
 The battle still continues
 As another day turns into night
 
 I can't run on forever
 My heart is slowing down
 There's a burning in my lungs
 They're silently screaming out
 
 I could win this battle
 If you fought next to me
 In this war of who I am
 And who I want to be
 
 So take my hand, pull me close
 Shake me from this misery
 I'm holding up my white flag
 Please save me from me
 
 You could be my savior
 My first and final hope
 Pull me back from this ledge
 Teach me how to cope
 
 Look me in the eyes
 Tell me that you're here
 Only the sound of your beating heart
 Can drive away my fear
