Tug of War
CHORUS
It's a war, a tug of war
And I'm on either side
Not sure if it's worth the fight
It's a war, a tug of war
I'm hanging by a thread
Will I ever reach the end?
VERSE #1
I stare at the horizon's edge
I'm waiting for the sun to set
As I tread between life or death
Can't help but feel inadequate
One word is all it takes to break
But I was already broken
Cruel world, why can't I find a way?
Will the future be unbroken?
PRE-CHORUS
Prayers won't ever give you answers
So why am I searching, searching, searching
Stop light, always stuck on amber
And then I stop hoping, hoping, hoping
CHORUS
It's a war, a tug of war
And I'm on either side
Not sure if it's worth the fight
It's a war, a tug of war
I'm hanging by a thread
Will I ever reach the end?
POST-CHORUS
Even if I try I will never get there
Something from inside holds me back and I'm scared
Even if I lie and I try to get there
Something from inside holds me back and I'm scared
VERSE #2
I'm always one, never a ten
Promises made but never met
I promised to never forget
The twisted road right up ahead
I bleed the shame, I feed the pain
Can't seem to fill this empty space
I run towards, towards my home
Where the insecurities grow
PRE-CHORUS
Prayers won't ever give you answers
So why am I searching, searching
Stop light, always stuck on amber
And then I stop hoping, hoping
CHORUS
It's a war, a tug of war
And I'm on either side
Not sure if it's worth the fight
It's a war, a tug of war
I'm hanging by a thread
Will I ever reach the end?
POST-CHORUS
Even if I try I will never get there
Something from inside holds me back and I'm scared
Even if I lie and I try to get there
Something from inside holds me back and I'm scared
BRIDGE
The birds don't fly by themselves
They have wings to help
I'm currently limbless
Torn apart internally
Eternally wasted
The world on my shoulders
I'll never be fearless
For I fear "fear" itself
CHORUS
It's a war, a tug of war
And I'm on either side
Not sure if it's worth the fight
It's a war, a tug of war
I'm hanging by a thread
Will I ever reach the end?

Even if I lie and I try to get there
Something from inside holds me back and I'm scared
Even if I try to fight it
Hope you like!
