Internal Wars

When I wake up  

I see stars 

When the sun goes down 

I go far 

 

In my dreams, that’s where I breathe 

That's where I get away from  

A specific brand of darkness  

that I more or less breed 

 

Like my soul craves the light 

But my body concedes 

Like it has no fight  

So my mind is stuck overseas 

 

Overthinking is a mother or father  

And peace is my brother in arms 

Fighting in a war against all odds 

A war that lures out frauds 

 

Everyone is so caught up in their own wars 

They never lend a hand  

Yet they're always in need of one 

 

My feet are on the ground 

Yet I'm the farthest from grounded 

My mind and soul are here 

But my hands are off fighting, in someone else's war 

 

How to fight without hands, just a brain 

A mind that feels forever broken 

Or stolen by people whom I loved 

That did me harm  

 

Internal affairs to internal wars 

Words that resemble bombs, we drop

Now it's not just an internal war 

It's nuclear 

 

I'm destroyed but my heart remains intact 

Maybe all those heart attacks 

Led to immunity or invincibility 

Against harmful acts  

 

When I wake up  

I see stars 

When the sun goes down 

I go far 

 

But tonight I can't breathe 

Because I'm back in that room 

I'm back to that day 

But this time I'm fighting 

 

Cant that let them get away 

Or slip away 

Not today 

I am fighting 

Till I draw my last breath 

 

Everyone should know wars take  

More than a lent hand 

It takes an invincible heart 

And the ability to form a new start 

To win this internal war 

So that it never turns out to be 

nuclear
