The War Rages

It always creeps up at night
The paranoia in my head
It never stops
Its always here
Never time to disappear
All i know is that I fight these demons everyday
They don’t go away
They don’t go away
A war rages
Thoughts of homicide and suicide
Stamped in my mind
A war rages
People see the outside
The perfection that is the lie
All the smiles and all the laughs
But on the inside demons fast
Temptation oozes from my skin
While a war rages within
It rages within(x3)
A war rages
Thoughts of homicide and suicide
Stamped in my mind
A war rages.
I’m not gonna live in fear
I’m not gonna disappear
A war rages
Thoughts of homicide and suicide
Stamped in my mind
A war rages

Begging for your life
Every chance you get
As the sky turns red
Lights up with regret
1000 names
Which you killed in vain
But you feel nothing for the slain
But you feel nothing for the slain
Let me stare down at your lifeless body
These walls will bleed your name
You sell the lie
To set the world a fire
Pain speeds through your veins
Your veins
Your veins yea
Just stick the needle in
As you life slips away
Just stick the needle in
As you life slips away
I sink to the bottom
Just to feel loved
I tear my self to existence

So tell me the story
Of when we were kids
We sat by the swings
Nothing in the wind
Believeing in something
We had to hold each other up
Just close your eyes and wonder why
what could of been
Come under from within
This time is not like the others
I liked the other times a lot better
Livin fast
Like the songs we use to sing
Livin fast
Like the songs we use to sing
Just close your eyes and wonder why
what could of been
Come under from within
I'm not coming i’m not coming
I’m not coming I'm not coming home
I'm not coming I’m not coming home
I’m not coming I’m not coming home
I’m not coming I’m not coming home
I’m not coming I’m not coming home
I’m not coming I’m not coming home

The bottom of the bottle
Is fading so fast
Just watch my self
It could be my last
Shattered in my Dreams
where we never sleep
Shattered in my dreams
Where we never sleep
The troubled thoughts are sinking in
The walls they are closing in
I’ve counted out
I’ve shouted out
The Walls are closing in
the trouble thoughts are sinking in
these walls are closing in
the trouble thoughts are sinking in
Where we never sleep
where we never sleep
I’ll be kissing your ashes
so close your eyes
I’ll be kissing your ashes
now kiss me goodnight
I’ll be kissing your ashes
now kiss me goodnight

Just like a movie
the bullet pierces my skin
I fall toward my sin
Toward my death
Toward my death
I caught a whisper
From a distance
Saying I was dead
Just like a record
Lays on the floor
Took the world with me
What more could i ask for?
I look up to the sky
To see his piercing grin
As he takes me in
With all my sins
I look up to the sky
I see his piercing grin
All I know
Is that I’m coming home alone
Alone
Alone
Alone

Brick by brick
You try to fix
Something you have destroyed
You actually avoid
Pay attention
Why don’t you listen
This ain’t worth fixin
Your words they cut they cut like knives
I feel them on the inside
I feel them every single night
My wounds can’t heal
And i can’t hide
Your words they cut like knives
I feel them on the inside
I feel them every night
I see you there
I see you there
Just standing there
With that stupid glare
Sometimes I think
That you’re the one that's really scared
Death is always an option
But take some caution
Those around you will be effected
There will never be a reset
Death is alway near
He will scratch and tear
Because a soul can never be retraced
You will forever be erased.
