The War Within

Promise me that you're listening
I don't know how to get you out my mind
It's all a mission
All of those things you said to me, I find I can't repeat them
Something's always got a hold of me
In your possession, why does it always have to destroy me?

There's a million different reasons that I can't let you in
And I can't seem to show you the darkness closing in
But you're telling me to lay low, and I can't hear you
You're telling me to lay low

This hollow misery
Death won't set you free
Sinking in its teeth
Tangled with your grief
There's a war within
Parasite spreading
Caught in the machine
Numb like heroin
How can we find peace?

There's always cold in the seasons
But you can't let it in
Just hold on, let me closer
'Cause the light is where I am
You were telling me to lay low and I can hear you now
You were telling me to lay low
There's something in my head and it's tearing my heart to pieces
The hurting just won't end, hard to say if I can make it

This hollow misery
Death won't set you free
Sinking in its teeth
Tangled with your grief
There's a war within
Parasite spreading
Caught in the machine
Numb like heroin
How can we find peace?

You're stuck in the maze with me
All I do is hope that God will see
Your light when you fall onto your knees again
Showing myself how to love again
Wishing to find the course, to the glory of the unknown
