Lyrics

///*****///

[Intro | clean guitar arpeggio | soft vocal hum | room ambience]

[Verse 1 | soft vocal | breathy | restrained]
It slowly sinks in
when you realize you're the problem
Too bad, yeah, too damn bad
It took hittin rock bottom

[Verse 2 | slightly gritty vocal | light distortion creeping in]
I planted my red flags for all to see
yeah, claimed this disaster as my own
I drew a line in the sand, I need you,
but want to be left alone

[Chorus | loud-soft dynamic shift | raspy shout | layered harmonies | heavy guitars]
Lord, I'm at war
Fighting my demons
I need your ammo
I need it more and more
Lord, I'm at war
The lines are blur'd
What am I doing?
Lord this is absurd.

[Instrumental | guitar solo | feedback | raw bends]

[Verse 3 | soft again | distant vocal | minimal drums]
Look, this bottle is empty
My life distorted through bent glass
I think I should have drank slower
Made sure our time would last

[Verse 4 | building tension | fuller drums | gritty vocal]
I launched too many missiles
Yeah, ones that don't come back
Broken hearts and broken dreams
That's all that's left from my attack

[Chorus | full band | aggressive vocal | harmonies]
Lord, I'm at war
Fighting my demons
I pulled the pin
threw the grenade at my sin
Lord, I'm at war
The lines are blur'd
What am I doing?
Lord this is absurd.

[Verse 5 | emotional strain | cracked vocal]
Turns out I'm my worst enemy
Pinned down and under fire
I'm calling for Your help, Lord
Save me, this battle is dire

[Pre-Chorus | tension build | tom-heavy drums]
I'm locked and loaded
Ready for bear

[Chorus | explosive | layered vocals | sustained distortion]
Lord, I'm at war
Fighting my demons
The tanks are roll'n
and the Devil's army's patrol'n

Oh Lord, you know I'm at war
The lines are blur'd
What the hell am I doing?
Lord this is absurd.

[Outro | fading distortion | soft vocal echo]
Yeah, Lord, I'm at war
