Unfinished War

The walls still whisper everything I tried to bury in the dust
Every crack a quiet witness to the weight I couldn't trust
I wore my silence like a shield, but it was cutting through my skin
Turns out the war I tried to dodge was always living from within

There's a pulse beneath the pressure, like a riot in my chest
Every doubt is throwing punches, every breath a subtle test
But the fracture holds a spark that's begging me to take control
I'm done negotiating peace with something built to take my soul

Strip it down, no armor left, just a heartbeat in the dark
Every second getting louder like a match against a spark
In the quiet there's a truth I never dared to face before
If I want to end the silence, I have to start the war

This is war unfinished, hear it echo through my veins
Every scar's a declaration, every loss a spark in flames
I won't kneel before the chaos, I won't fade into the blur
I'll turn every wound into a reason I endure

This is war unfinished, I can feel the ground ignite
Every step into the fire is a step into the fight
If I break, I'll come back louder than I ever was before
I'm not running from the battle
I was made to start the war

Every version of myself that tried to hide behind the calm
Left a ghost inside the mirror with a trembling open palm
Now the glass is cracked and honest, showing everything I am
Not a victim of the damage, but the architect who can

Turn the pressure into diamonds, turn the panic into flame
Let the chaos be the canvas where I sign my name in pain
If the only road to freedom is to bleed through every door
Then I'll kick them down one by one and ask for nothing more

No more whispers, no more waiting for a sign to make it right
No more hiding from the shadow that's been begging me to fight
If it costs me everything to finally take control
Then I'll burn through every version just to rebuild what I stole

This is war unfinished, now there's no more turning back
Every fear I ever carried is collapsing into black
I don't need another saving hand to pull me from the floor
I'll become the storm I feared
And crash into the war

This is war unfinished, hear the thunder when I breathe
Every second that I'm standing is a victory I seize
If I fall, I'll rise again with something stronger at my core
I'm not running from the battle
