Southbound - Wage War

Written by：Cody Quistad/Jeremy Mckinnon/Chris Gaylord

Define me as a failure

Only the shadow of a man

I will suffer the judgement passed by those

Who simply do not understand

Who I am the way I think

The pain that sets in underneath

And when I try to be myself it seems like

The insecurity gets the worst of me

Gets the worst of me

The distance it makes me sick

But there's a new way that I'm coping with conviction

And I don't expect you to understand it

I can't leave these words unsaid

Cause it's a product of the battle that's in my head

And I can't pretend that it never haunts me

The world will never be enough for me

I'll tell you from the top it's only skin deep

I don't know what I believe

But it's not the way it's supposed to be

Over these past few years I admit that things have changed

Dreams became reality but the pleasure became pain

I've loved I've lost you wouldn't know what it cost

After every sacrifice that I have made

I'll take this to the grave

You can be who you want to be

But your nightmares live in the same dream

Go be who you want to be

The distance it makes me sick

But there's a new way that I'm coping with conviction

And I don't expect you to understand it

I can't leave these words unsaid

Cause it's a product of the battle that's in my head

And I can't pretend that it never haunts me

I don't expect you to understand it

And I can't pretend that it never haunts me
