I pledge to you that I shall fight resistance And strive to bring glory To the tales you would have me tell Let the work begin The atmosphere around us And the purple lights that glimmer off your skin I can tell that someone's trying To invade your space But you won't let them in It's the man in the mirror Stopping me from doing what I have to do If only I could see him clearer I could stop what he is planning And push through I'm at war I'm at war with my inner self It's unfortunate Absorb it till ideas melt And that's when it hurts It's like bloodshed, it's like violence It's all nonsense all the time I can't name the price I'd pay To fight these battles in my mind And I'm feeling stress In my veins and my flesh I'm afraid to attain all the fame and success I admit it, oh I admit it It's the man in the mirror Stopping me from doing what I have to do If only I could see him clearer I could stop what he is planning And push through I'm at war I'm at war with my innerself It's unfortunate Absorb it till ideas melt And that's when it hurts I'm at war I'm at war with my innerself It's unfortunate Absorb it till ideas melt And that's when it hurts Each time paramedics take a call They don't really know what their getting into This past August, 4 responded to a call for chest pains
