World War Me

(album: Hotel Kalifornia - 2022)

There's a battle inside me
It's really hard to explain it
But they go to war nightly
Evil trying to find me
Robbing me of who I am
Hard not to let it define me
So I'm holding on tightly to the light as it blinds me
Can somebody remind me 'cause it's highly unlikely
That my saviour will find me
Praying to the almighty
Maybe God will listen to me if I pray more politely
It's true, I don't know what side of me to listen to
Got the devil on each shoulder it's the truth
It's consuming me and everything I do
Nothing left to prove, nothing left to lose
And that's all it takes sometimes to make me relapse
I keep making mistakes man I need to relax
Cause I'm down on my knees again
Searching for peace but then this World War Me begins

I'll never change
Woke up today
I'm still the same
My worst enemy
Do I hate who I am
'Cause I hate what I see
World War Me

Breathe in and I tell myself again
I keep knocking on the door but I won't let me in
Yeah one too many questions another resurrection
The day that you're born is another death sentence
Irony kills and sometimes I wish it would
I'd rather be dead than some page in some book
That burns to the fire cause the devil I admire
And I wanna watch it burn higher and higher
Now I'm the only one that I have left to fear
And one of us is gonna die, I'll die right here
Let the cowardly speak so the cowardly sleep
I am not you no you are not me
It's an eye for an eye now no one can see
No reflection has meaning
The cracks that I leave
Even when I sleep I die in my dreams
Put that noose around my neck
I don't want you to breathe

I'll never change
Woke up today
I'm still the same
My worst enemy
Do I hate who I am
'Cause I hate what I see
World War Me

I pray that you stay away
You speak with the tongue of a snake
Baptized in a shallow lake
I hate myself when I see your face
I pray that you stay away
You speak with the tongue of a snake
Baptized in a shallow lake
I hate myself when I see your face
Yeah
I hate myself when I see your face
Bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh

I'll never change
Woke up today
I'm still the same
My worst enemy
Do I hate who I am
Cause I hate what I see
World War Me
