War over me

I'm standing on the front lines 
I'm fighting for my soul
I've walked a self destructive lonely road
I read the warning signs but 
I was too blind to see 
I had to feel the pain 'till I believed

I have a purpose

This is War
This is War
Since the day I was born
I would die just to live just to bleed
I will fight 
For my life
Turn my darkness to light
This is war – it's a war over me 
War over me 

My pity feeds destruction
My hunger turns to greed 
But nothing ever fills this hole in me
No peace on the horizon
No peace in anything
I had to hurt myself till I believed

I have a purpose 

This is War
This is War
Since the day I was born
I would die just to live just to bleed
I will fight 
For my life
Turn my darkness to light
This is war – it's a war over me 

I'm caught up in the crossfire 
I'm caught up in the pain
This gift of desperation 
Is exactly what I need
I'm falling like an empire
I'm calling out your name
I'm locked in my own prison
Tell me help is on the way
Tell me help is on the way

I will fight 
For this life
Turn my darkness to light
This is war – it's a war over me

This is War
This is War
Since the day I was born
I would die just to live just to bleed
I will fight 
For my life
Turn my darkness to light
This is war – it's a war over me 

This is war – it's a war over me 
War over me 

I have a purpose
