The War Inside

Here is the first song I wrote, when I was 13 years old. I woke up at 2:00 am and wrote down the lyrics in 20 minutes. I had been working on the music prior to the lyrics but finalized it all over the next 6 months. Here is the first time the band performed it and you can tell we didn't have it perfect.....but you get the idea. Hope you like it.

The War Inside
Ever Since Tomorrow

Music by : Donovan Colton

Lyrics by: Donovan Colton with Jenna Colton

Verse 1:

             You see the darkness in a tunnel of illuminating light

             I’m sitting by your side thinking how I’m going to make it through the night

             I see the conflict in your eyes

             How long have we been living in this lie

             As I look at you, you look at me, and now I can finally see

             The war inside your head

Verse 2:

             Tomorrow is today and today is yesterday

             Like a vulture flying near just waiting for it’s prey

             I’m going like a racecar going out of control

             I’m looking at you, asking for your help

             But all I can see

             Is the war inside your head

Chorus:

             I see the guns in battle, the explosions and the darkness falls around

             I look at you, you look at me, and now I can finally see

             I close my eyes and hold on tight and wish for a happy landing

             But I open my eyes and stop the dream and now I can finally see

             The war inside your head

Verse 3:

              Drowning hopelessly in this endless sea

             Getting closer to the air that we can’t reach

             Falling under the waves hoping to be saved

             Really wish I could make this better

Chorus:

Solo:

Pre-Chorus:

            You see the darkness in a tunnel of illuminating light

            I’m sitting by your side, just waiting for the fight

Chorus:
