Regarding the person that I used to be Clinging to maxims That I once claimed important to myself A strangeness took place Somewhere inside of me Where I once supposed the core Of my soul I'm so tired of fighting myself If I could only give in, I'd be the first one to leave this mess But I'm stuck, like trapped in a ruin Until I become the veteran Of my own war This is my war I feel it's time to leave this state This place, my home Forever from now And never come back Never again But it feels like I'm just left to set it all ablaze Though I'd rather watch the flames Erase the ruin from afar I'm so tired of fighting myself If I could only give in, I'd be the first one to leave this mess But I'm stuck, like trapped in a ruin Until I become the veteran Of my own war From now on I declare war against myself I declare war against myself And I can't let this win over me I can't let this win over me
