The war behindmy eyes.

Verse 1 Morning finds me already tired Like I spent the night walking through fire The curtains move, but the room feels still And every breath becomes an act of will I wear a smile so no one knows How deep the silent current flows They see me standing, dressed and strong But never hear what’s going wrong Pre-Chorus My heart is racing without a reason My thoughts are closing every door I tell myself this feeling will leave me But I have told myself before Chorus There is a war behind my eyes A thousand fears in borrowed disguises I fight the dark before it begins While all the noise comes rushing in I’m holding on with shaking hands Trying to breathe where nobody understands I may look whole beneath these lights But there is a war behind my eyes Verse 2 Some days the world is far too loud Even when I’m standing outside the crowd Every word becomes a warning sign Every silence says the fault is mine Then comes the weight I cannot name A cold that settles in my veins It tells me nothing waits ahead And pulls the colour from my days Pre-Chorus I know the voice is not the truth But knowing does not make it small It builds a prison from my memories And writes my failures on the walls Chorus There is a war behind my eyes A thousand fears in borrowed disguises I fight the dark before it begins While all the noise comes rushing in I’m holding on with shaking hands Trying to breathe where nobody understands I may look whole beneath these lights But there is a war behind my eyes Bridge I know that voice I know its lies It steals your breath And wears your eyes It says you’re broken It says you’re weak Then drowns the words You’re trying to speak But you are not the fear inside you You are not the weight you bear You are every time you rose again When nothing in you wanted to be there So let the darkness scream its name It does not own you It never came To stay Then stay beside me through the silence Don’t ask me to explain the pain Just hold the room together for me Until I find myself again I don’t need saving You don’t stand alone I need reminding This darkness is not home And every breath we take tonight Is one more step into the light Chorus There is a war behind my eyes But now I know the enemy lies I feel the dark come rushing in But I will not surrender to it again I’m holding on with shaking hands And I don’t need the whole world to understand I may still fall, I may still fight But I am more than what I feel tonight There is a war behind my eyes There may be scars I cannot hide But somewhere underneath the noise I can still hear my own voice Final Refrain I am still here I am still mine I am still reaching For the light Outro The morning finds me tired again But this time I let the daylight in
