A War Inside

The devil on my shoulder tells me he's proud of me

That it takes a real man to look out for himself and no one else

I don't want to believe that

But sometimes it's easier to just stay silent

I wish I knew how to speak out

I never had a problem with words

But only when talking to someone else

There's a war inside me that's all my own

And I need to talk like a king to keep myself afloat

But how much longer until everyone knows?

There's a war inside me that's all my own

There's a war inside me that's all my own

I should have started to take my own advice

From the moment that I started giving it

But I can only control what happens from here

And if none of this had happened

Then I couldn't have heard...

The angel on my shoulder tells me he's proud of me

That it takes a real man to live for everyone else before himself

I know I believe it

And it'll never get easier

But it will always be worth it

There's a war inside me that's all my own

I'm still learning to speak out against myself

And stay on the path I truly want to be on

Though I've lost my way more times that I have wished

My heart is constant and willing

I still believe that we were made for more

That what I've been doing lately

This end of depression will be the start of getting back what I have lost

Because I had become conceited

But I'm making it back to where I last left off

And so I've shown you my heart

Will you restore me?
