about

**Sometimes we stumble upon a recording we forgot existed. This recently happened last week. While some recordings we'd rather forget about, we felt the opposite on this one and thought this song was worthy of sharing.

This is an acoustic version of our beloved song "The War Inside of Me" from our first album. Live recorded at The Blockhouse Cafe sometime back in 2010. Call it vintage...or something like that.**

lyrics

This constant struggle I battle with myself and feel so hopeless
cause nothing ever changes,
I fear that I can't find myself in this world.

Because inside of me I'm lost without a hope.
I feel so empty wishing that someone would come and save me,
set me free to live again.

I am victim to a war that's raging on inside of me
I can't back down, I can't back down
Wretched man that I am who will set me free
I won't back down, I won't back down

I always fall right when I'm so sure I've cut it off for good.
I always fail right when things finally get so easy.
I don't know why I do these things I know I truly hate inside.
I don't know why I've become so addicted to the pain.

I am victim to a war that's raging on inside of me
I can't back down, I can't back down
Wretched man that I am who will set me free
I won't back down, I won't back down

You have set me free
You have set me free
So that I can be free

I am victim to a war that's raging on inside of me
I can't back down, I can't back down
Wretched man that I am who will set me free
I won't back down, I won't back down
