Battlefield In My Head lyrics

I'm still fighting It’s been three years since the war stopped outside But the shots still echo when I try to close my eyes Can’t trust the silence It’s louder than bombs— My brain's a cage Where the battle lives on Marching boots in my memory lane All these medals feel like chains Flashbacks bleed like open scars I lost more at home than I did in the dark You see me breathing— (But I ain't alive) You think I'm healed— (But I'm barely survive) I fight every night On the battlefield in my head Can't bury the dead They live in what I said I scream but it echoes inside Nowhere to hide I survived the war But not what's left behind Therapy don't touch what fire carved in me These pills are peace, but the dreams disagree They told me: Welcome home But it ain't the same street— It’s a maze of shadows Where my fears compete Used to sleep with one eye open Now both stare at the ceiling Counting ghosts Not feelings I left pieces of me In places they’ll never find Now they decorate my pain And call it: Sacrifice You see me breathing— (But I ain't alive) You think I'm healed— (But I'm barely survive) I fight every night On the battlefield in my head Can't bury the dead They live in what I said I scream but it echoes inside Nowhere to hide I fight every night On the battlefield in my head Can't bury the dead They live in what I said I scream but it echoes inside Nowhere to hide I survived the war! But not what's left behind I'm still fighting Fighting
