The Veteran

Regarding the person that I used to be
Clinging to maxims
That I once claimed important to myself
A strangeness took place
Somewhere inside of me
Where I once supposed the core
Of my soul

I'm so tired of fighting myself
If I could only give in, I'd be the first one to leave this mess
But I'm stuck, like trapped in a ruin
Until I become the veteran
Of my own war
This is my war

I feel it's time to leave this state
This place, my home
Forever from now
And never come back
Never again
But it feels like I'm just left to set it all ablaze
Though I'd rather watch the flames
Erase the ruin from afar

I'm so tired of fighting myself
If I could only give in, I'd be the first one to leave this mess
But I'm stuck, like trapped in a ruin
Until I become the veteran
Of my own war
From now on I declare war against myself
I declare war against myself
And I can't let this win over me
I can't let this win over me
