“The Quiet War”

Verse 1

I built these walls out of mercy and pain

Carried your weight like a permanent chain

Opened my doors, let the devil walk in

You wore my trust like a second skin

You fed me doubt, you twisted the truth

Turned every wound into my fucking proof

Told me I’m broken, I’m nothing alone

While you were feeding on everything I own

Pre-Chorus

Every word was a lie I believed

Every scar was a debt I received

Chorus

No more taking my soul away

No more games that you fucking play

You fed on my heart, now I’m cutting you off

You don’t get another piece of me

No more living inside your war

I see the truth, I see you now

Kindness is free, but I’m locking the door

You don’t get another piece of me

Verse 2

Silent battles, no blood on the floor

Just sleepless nights and emotional war

Every apology wasn’t mine

You moved the blame every single time

Gaslight fire, rewriting my past

Made every moment feel like it wouldn’t last

But something inside finally broke your hold

Pain turned iron where my heart was gold

Pre-Chorus

I was drowning just to keep you alive

Now I’m done trying to survive

Chorus

No more taking my soul away

No more games that you fucking play

You fed on my heart, now I’m cutting you off

You don’t get another piece of me

No more living inside your war

I see the truth, I see you now

Kindness is free, but I’m locking the door

You don’t get another piece of me

Bridge (half-time, darker)

You called me weak

You called me blind

But I was carrying you the whole damn time

You needed my pain

You needed my light

Now you’re nothing without my fight

I’m done.

Final Chorus (big, anthemic)

No more taking my soul away

No more games that you fucking play

You fed on my heart, now I’m cutting you off

You don’t get another piece of me

No more living inside your war

I buried the ghost you were before

Kindness is free, but access is not

You don’t get another piece of me

Outro (spoken/growled)

The war’s not over.

But you’re not in it anymore.
