lyrics

FIGHTING WITH MYSELF

My inner world a movie screen
This constant sense of urgency
Studying this guy in my
Internal documentary

Do I flirt with what can hurt me
false protection hasn’t served me
Deep down it still unnerves me
only seek love that deserves me

Fighting with myself
As much as I try
as far as I go
as much as I
am willing to show
Inside my Mind, I’m still
Fighting with myself

The story that I haven’t told
speaks to what I can’t control
Boredom shows what I can’t hold
the story’s wrong the story’s old

I see myself the dilettante
Pushing past the awkward parts
I want to go back to the start
Those times that I can’t feel my heart
