[Verse 1] I wake with a hammer in my chest Two wolves in a cage, both wanting the rest One says run, one says bite Both got my name in the same damn fight My hands shake, but they never break I taste cold iron every breath I take The mirror cracks when I meet my eyes Half of me curses, half of me climbs [Pre-Chorus] Hear that roar in my throat It's the war I chose Step by step, I don't fold I won't give this soul away [Chorus] Fight the war inside Fight the war inside I'm still alive I won't divide Fight the war inside Fight the war inside Blood in my veins Fire in my spine [Verse 2] There's a ghost with my face in the back of my skull Pulling my strings when the room goes dull It knows my fear, it knows my sin Still I swing hard just to stay within I buried shame in a ditch of sparks Watched it burn through the blacked-out dark Every scar is a line I wear Proof I got hit, proof I stayed there [Pre-Chorus] Hear that roar in my throat It's the war I chose Step by step, I don't fold I won't give this soul away [Chorus] Fight the war inside Fight the war inside I'm still alive I won't divide Fight the war inside Fight the war inside Blood in my veins Fire in my spine [Bridge] [Half-time breakdown] One side begs, one side bleeds One side kneels, one side leads I ripped the lock from the cage Now I feed that fear to rage [Final Chorus] Fight the war inside Fight the war inside I'm still alive I won't divide Fight the war inside Fight the war inside Blood in my veins Fire in my spine Fight the war inside Fight the war inside I take the blow I take the light
