War In Me

 

 

Verse 1

The gun lay there at barren feet
His eyes stone like murmured skies
Forgiveness becomes my lacking grace
When I’ve become everything I despise

Tears silent the moment, perplexed, dying
Innocence poured upon the rigid ground
When intention speaks with self-defiance
Only naivety will hear the sound

PreChorus

There is no valor in the deeds I commit
The only honor I deserve is not to forget

Chorus

In my mind there is no victory
Only the reminder of what I use to be
The war has just begun in me

In my soul there is no coming home
There’s only the battle I must fight alone
The war has just begun in me

Verse 2

What I found that day like seas of fire
Through furious winds a truth be known
The life I claimed in freedom’s name
In splintered time became my own

The screams still echo, tangled, and torn
Calling out to me like a discarded sin
When redemption is lost at every memory
Guilt fortifies the prison I am living in

PreChorus

There is no valor in the deeds I commit
The only honor I deserve is not to forget

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Wars are won with men like me
Those ignorant and arrogant not knowing
There are no victories
The war never ends

(Repeat Chorus)
