[Verse 1]
Warpaint, feathered skin
You kiss my body
As I write these words
Sunlight on my knees
I'm far from home
But right now, I don't care
You said you stole a a part of me
That used to be asleep the night you sang
But I can't promise you
That anybody else sees me this way
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a war inside my body
No, there's a war inside my mind
For the first time, my heart is doing just fine
[Verse 2]
I gave you up trying to be fearless
And discovered I was free
I am a lover and a dreamer
Runnin' wild through these streets
And as we counted paper stars
Timelessness revealed itself to me
And we almost bought that ticket
But we changed our mind instead
You are the reason I am quiet
In the voices in my head
You told me I'm an artist
I don't believe it
I won't believe it
So I'm dead
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a war inside my body
No, there's a war inside my mind
For the first time, my heart is doing just fine
[Verse 3]
I was born inside a fire
You were born beside the sea
I am the vassal of a motion
Held together by thin strings
Followed you up every step
And at the top you
Taught me how to breathe
Yeah, I learned nothing passed
It be flawless or a genius
It just has to be
No, I don't have to be
Flawless or a genius
I just have to be
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a war inside my body
No, there's a war inside my mind
For the first time, my heart is doing just fine
