[Intro]

War over me


[Verse 1]

I'm standing on the front lines

I'm fighting for my soul

I've walked a self-destructive

Lonely road

I read the warning signs

But I was to blind too see

I had to feel the pain

Till I believed


[Pre-Chorus]

I have a purpose


[Chorus]

This is war, this is war

Since the day I was born

I would die just to live

Just to bleed

(This is war, this is war, this is war)

I will fight for my life

Turn my darkness to light

This is war, it's a war over me

(War over me)


[Post-Chorus]

War over me

War over me


[Verse 2]

My pity feeds destruction

My hunger turns to greed

But nothing ever fills this

Hole in me

No peace on the horizon

No peace in anything

I had to hurt myself

Till I believed


[Pre-Chorus]

I have a purpose


[Chorus]

This is war, this is war

Since the day I was born

I would die just to live

Just to bleed

(This is war, this is war, this is war)

I will fight for my life

Turn my darkness to light

This is war, it's a war over me


[Bridge]

I'm caught up in the crossfire

I'm caught up in the pain

This gift of desperation

Is exactly what I need

I'm falling like an empire

I'm calling out your name

I'm locked in my own prison

Tell me help is on the way

Tell me help is on the way


[Refrain]

I will fight for this life

Turn my darkness to light

This is war, it's a war over me


[Chorus]

This is war, this is war

Since the day I was born

I would die just to live

Just to bleed

(This is war, this is war, this is war)

I will fight for my life

Turn my darkness to light

This is war, it's a war over me

(War over me)


[Post-Chorus]

This is war, it's a war over me

War over me


[Outro]

I have a purpose
