War In My Mind

[Intro]
Yeah…
War in my mind, can’t sleep at night

[Verse 1]
Sirens cry, in the dark we run
Sky turns red, can’t see the sun
Boots on the ground, hearts made of steel
But deep inside, we still feel

Smoke in my lungs, ash on my tongue
Praying that tomorrow even comes
Pictures on the floor, names in my phone
Scrolling through the ghosts I’ve known

[Chorus]
There’s a war in my mind, I’m stuck in the crossfire
Every little thought like shrapnel and barbed wire
Laying in the dark, but I swear I still hear
Every single scream, every echo in my ear

There’s a war in my mind, and I can’t find cover
Even when it’s quiet, I’m bracing for another
Counting all the cracks in the ceiling tonight
Trying not to break in the silence, in the silence of the night

[Verse 2]
Empty chair set at the table
Laugh track playing from the cable
Laughing but I’m hollow in the chest
Tiny little tremor in my breath

Camouflage coats on the backroom hooks
Torn-out pages from the good book
Mama lights a candle by the sink
Says, “Baby, close your eyes, don’t think”

[Chorus]
There’s a war in my mind, I’m stuck in the crossfire
Every little thought like shrapnel and barbed wire
Laying in the dark, but I swear I still hear
Every single scream, every echo in my ear

There’s a war in my mind, and I can’t find cover
Even when it’s quiet, I’m bracing for another
Counting all the cracks in the ceiling tonight
Trying not to break in the silence, in the silence of the night
