New War

Hey yeah yeah
Alright
One, two, three

I been alone, dead as a stone
Lead in my bones, heavy with the weight
Of all of my nos, of all of my won'ts
Of all of my ghosts I thought were keeping me safe

I need to get outta my home, into the unknown
Where I can roam outta the cage
'Cause I been living in the don'ts, safe from the lows
And maybe that road is just being afraid

I'm not looking to die
With a gun and a handful of whys
And what-good-am-Is
In a life made of what I denied
So I'm coming for mine
I'm the silhouette in the sky
In the fears of the mind
I see battle lines

'Cause I've got a new war with old wrongs
I'll serve no longer
'Cause I've got a new war so long
This soldier's unconquered

I am not owned but the road I chose
There's nothing I owe to my yesterdays
I'm the river that rolls, I'm the flight of the crow
This life ain't a chokehold, the prison is fake

It's like all my life I've had a devil inside
Telling me no don't try, like it's my soul but half ain't mine
I can't turn back time, but I can leave
This foxhole I made behind, alright

'Cause I've got a new war with old wrongs
I'll serve no longer
'Cause I've got a new war so long
This soldier's unconquered
