Battle Scars

{subdued distorted electric guitar arpeggios} {muffled,

distant vinyl crackle} {heartbeat kick drum tempo starter}

Another midnight battle in my head (mmmmm) Replaying every single word we

said

I took a heavy hit,

I felt the pain

Now I am standing holding

all the blame {quiet bass guitar entry} I’m fighting myself just to

get through (holding on) This war in my chest has got nothing

to do with you {fuzz

distortion pedal kicked on} {snare drum rolls building tension} When will I

win the fight inside my heart?

This heavy love is tearing me apart!

Lost in the dark,

I’m searching for the peace When does this war inside of me

finally cease? (please release me) {wall of thick overdriven guitars} {powerful crashing

crash cymbals} I tried to build a wall,

to go completely cold

But there’s a quiet truth that I’ve been told

You cannot heal by acting heartless now

I need to find the light,

I will somehow

{guitars drop down to clean arpeggios} {drums play a simplified side-stick pattern}

(I am searching) (so tired of fighting) (ohhh) I just want peace

{expressive emotional guitar solo} {drums slow down

slightly} Lost inside... looking for the light...

(searching) (when will I win)

{instruments slowly fade

out} {lonely single acoustic guitar strum} {final long vocal exhale}
