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
'til 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
(This is war x3)

I will fight
For my life
Turn my darkness to light
This is war
It's a war over me
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
'til 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
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 my 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
(This is war x3)

I will fight
For my life
Turn my darkness to light
This is war
It's a war over me (War over me)

This is war
It's a war over me (Over me)

War over me

(I have a purpose)
