Lyrics
War
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.
Listening to the outside
Happiness swelling landslide
I'll show you, I'll fill up the room
I'll devastate you, it's true
I run my soul and body down
If I kept a parasite around
I'll keep lying to myself
I'm not that untrue
I'm in a war with myself
It's got nothing to do with you
In my head there's a war room
Keeping score, ripe to exhume
I'll come in hot, I'll fill up the room
Possessed and consumed, it's true
I wonder how I wound up here
I try to say it loud and clear
But I mostly keep to myself
What I'm going through
I'm in a war with myself
It's got nothing to do with you
Listening to the outside
Stagnant air on the front lines
A dark star on a clear night
Brightly born under a bad sign
I run my soul and body down
If I tote this dead weight around
I'll keep lying to myself
I'm not that untrue
I'm in a war with myself
It's got nothing to do with you
It's got nothing to do with you
It's got nothing to do with you
