Somebody out there Is fighting a war And that war is over nothing But the perceived imperfections That they find in themselves Discovering problems when none are there Without realizing the lack of substance Just created villains out of air, not understanding reality But for them, the problems were always there And they weren't self made, they just occurred And the war over that which is not real Is the bloodiest conflict in history With casualties every day, battles every night Men and woman, adults and children perish Fighting for a cause they don't understand That those on the outside can't see Because this war is in hell And hell is a state of mind And when there, every moment is a struggle To stay alive and hold back the demons Swarming through your mind

Battle of Disillusion
Somebody out there Is fighting a war And that war is over nothing But the perceived imperfections That they find in themselves Discovering problems when none are there Without realizing the lack of substance Just created villains out of air, not understanding reality But for them, the problems were always there And they weren't self made, they just occurred And the war over that which is not real Is the bloodiest conflict in history With casualties every day, battles every night Men and woman, adults and children perish Fighting for a cause they don't understand That those on the outside can't see Because this war is in hell And hell is a state of mind And when there, every moment is a struggle To stay alive and hold back the demons Swarming through your mind
