[ci]No, I have never been to war
[ci]But be assured that there is a war 
[ci]It’s been going on

No, I have never been to war

But be assured that there is a war

It’s been going on inside my head

I have to fight every day

But I am always fighting myself

My brain is constantly filled with dread

[ci]No, I have never been to war
[ci]But be assured that there is a war 
[ci]It’s been going on

I am not covered in wounds

But my brain is scarred

My eyes are teary and sunken

There is something unlike the war

I have no one to fight beside me

With each ing day, I become more broken

[ci]No, I have never been to war
[ci]But be assured that there is a war 
[ci]It’s been going on

I am fighting to the death

Defeat has come far to close

Sometimes I want nothing but to give up

The fighting has been going on for years

My treaties for peace are being refused

I keep trying to call for back-up

It is one thing to have to fight another

It is worse to have to fight one’s mind

I cannot help but hurt my person

I have pleaded for aid from others

At the end of the day, they the other side

If I do not do something soon my life will worsen

Am I getting stronger?

Maybe I’m just getting tired

Can I lay myself down to rest?

Some days I run from the enemy

I hide

If you think you can defeat them, be my guest

[ci]No, I have never been to war
[ci]But be assured that there is a war 
[ci]It’s been going on

My adversary comes in the form of thoughts

They are faster and stronger than any human

Hunting me down, hoping for my demise

Though you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not there

Either must fall at the hand of the other

For one to live, the other must die

[ci]No, I have never been to war
[ci]But be assured that there is a war 
[ci]It’s been going on

I have to kill myself so that I can survive
