“Battles” came together late in the making of the album and wound up being the title track.
Like the entire album it’s written about our inner battles and made so that the listener can relate to the lyrics.
[Verse 1]
Pain, you're not my friend, and I despise you
Friend, you are my pain, and I adore you
[Pre-Chorus]
What are you waiting for? I'm here
Let's consume it all before they take it all away
[Chorus]
I hear them from the other side
As I sit and let the day go by
Trying to see if the world is still alive
Let the day go by
[Verse 2]
Insane to be caged, when you're to blame
Blame, break free from insanity to praise you
[Pre-Chorus]
What are you waiting for? I'm here
Let's consume it all before they take it all away
[Chorus]
I hear them from the other side
As I sit and let the day go by
Trying to see if the world is still alive
Let the day go by
[Pre-Chorus]
What are you waiting for? I'm here
Let's consume it all before they take it all away
[Chorus]
I hear them from the other side
As I sit and let the day go by
Trying to see if the world is still alive
Before they take it all away
I hear them from the other side
As I sit and let the day go by
Trying to see if the world is still alive
Let the day go by

“And it ended up being the title track. When I write the lyrics I don’t really know what I’m talking about ha ha, there’s so many thoughts, topics and feelings. So I have to step back and look at what I’m trying to say. I thought Battles was a short title that sounded good and was so...
