Lyrics
The War Still Rages Within
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Looking down on the cars on the highway
The stream of tail lights
Everybody advancing together
Do so willingly sacrifice rights
When people accept they’re cogs in the system
Give up free will, conform
Individual pieces of dust swirl together
Become a full storm
Looking down on the burgeoning city
The skyscrapers rise
Even men with the greatest intentions
Start believing their own lies
We can borrow from the future
But eventually someone’s got to pay
The only way out of the cycle
Is to strike out and pave your own way
Yeah
We all fight our own fight
Will you fuel the desire to win
Always struggling with the truth
Of the life that might have been
But no matter how jagged your path is
You’ll always come back to the road
When the dust of battle settles
The war still rages within
