Civil Wars

I remember your face in the mirror
I remember the look in your eyes
The subtlety of your secrets and whispers
Telling me that I'm something I'm not

All the silly games you play
And walk away with nothing to show (Shed the skin wherever we go)
"Pull yourself together once again or else" is all that she wrote
(Your hands behind, we'll take it slow)

The wars we wage inside our heads
The lies we can't escape
We tasted fear in younger years
And buried our mistakes

The weaker ones are left behind
The wounded good as dead
So tell me who you think you are
We'll handle this like men

Yeah!
You think you're talking, put your money where your mouth is
You don't fight, I've to fight, I watch you carry on
The fight is here, and it's more than you bargained for
Run away, run away
Is this what you really want?

The wars we wage inside our heads
The lies we can't escape
We tasted fear in younger years
And buried our mistakes

The weaker ones are left behind
The wounded good as dead
So tell me who you think you are?
We'll handle this like men

We've all got civil wars
We've all got civil wars
We've all got civil wars
(We've all got civil wars)

We fell on black days once again
(We fell on black days once again)
And still you crawl under my skin
(There is no rest, you're always there)
There is no rest, you're always there
(We fell on black days once again)
You're always there (always there)
You're always there
