War Within Lyrics

In the quiet corners of crowded rooms

He hides away from the staring moons

Muted cries in the dead of night

A hollow smile keeps his pain out of sight

But oh how the shadows grow

Underneath the skin where fears flow

Silent screams echo a tale so grim

Of a man at war within

A throbbing pain holds his jaw so tight

Ignored until the shingles blight

The mirror reflects a ghostly shade

Of a man who's endlessly afraid

He curses the silence he's wrapped within

The festering fear under his skin

Hating himself for the care he denied

For the social doors forever closed and tied

But oh how the shadows grow

Underneath the skin where fears flow

Silent screams echo a tale so grim

Of a man at war within

He curses the silence he's wrapped within

The festering fear under his skin

Hating himself for the care he denied

For the social doors forever closed and tied

But oh how the shadows grow

Underneath the skin where fears flow

Silent screams echo a tale so grim

Of a man at war within

A throbbing pain holds his jaw so tight

Ignored until the shingles blight

The mirror reflects a ghostly shade

Of a man who is endlessly afraid
