War Inside Of Me

I could've woke yesterday in the grave

Could've choked on the smoke from my father's flame

There's no need to stoke

There's a southern wind blowin' this way

Dare me to do it, I'll go

I'll trade these pounds of flesh for a miserable ghost

And not much will change

But the way that you see me will, though

And I see it come clean in my head

And I don't believe, but I like to pretend

That the war inside of me will kill the man I've been

A sickness has poisoned my time

And I searched for a cure

And it blinded my sight

And I'm almost sure that I've had my fill for one life

And everything good was a lie

All my friends turned to snakes

And love turned to spite

And I held the blame 'cause you couldn't carry its size

And I see it come clean in my head

And I don't believe, but I like to pretend

That the war inside of me will kill the man I've been

That the war inside of me will kill the man I've been
