Everything laid before me
With no remission, I’m plagued by disease
And every note that I play will remind me of this
Tension was on, so I’ve had to remind myself
To retain a sober mind until the battle is over
Because I’m drawn to believe that this is over…
This is over!
(Chorus)
Retain a sober mind until the battle is over
At least I’m out this time…
I am not the one to pass these judgments
I am not the one to pass the guilt around
And so it shall be done
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
Now that the war is over, I can move on in every way
I know that I’ve been selfish, but I’ll be stronger everyday
How did I fall so far from what it means to be real?
I feel much better in many ways
I won’t look back to regret those days
Because the battle is over…
