Inner War



What to talk about,

When I've talked about everything already


It's not that I'm alone,

Or that my struggles aren't anybody's business


It's been an adulthood since I felt confident,

In my own place


A place of pain,

A place of heartache,

A roaming inner war


I am home 


How do I express it,

When I've given the same doubts before


It's mine and mine alone,

No smoke or mirrors and no witness


My childhood was interlaced in freedom,

Now I search for it


A place of pain,

A place of heartache,

A roaming inner war


Still a fox and a snake,

Just a reminder of what's there


Fraud

Fake

Faux fortune


All in the lives of mine I've lived,

I've loved and lost and became famous


There is no more to say,

I've said it and it's stuck


What I spoke of is my misfortune

My own


It's been mine though and I'm not selling it,

It's given away to anyone else that has that spirit


One day at a time,

The standard of survival


I'm still here,

Roaming around the battlefield


Looking for a fight
