Subject: Inner war

lyrics

VERSE:
There's a war raging deep in my soul
but nobody knows.
Invaders from lands unknown
and it's taken control.

Sometimes I forget that it's there.
Other times it's everywhere.
I can't believe what I've done.
I can't believe that it's done.

CHORUS:
It's in the air as I
sit in my chair and I
feel no peace anymore.

I once took a stand but I
o'erplayed my hand and I
feel no peace anymore.

Sat b'hind the wheel as the
sky turns to teal and I
feel no peace anymore.

Go to my room so I can
stare at the gloom 'cause I
feel no peace anymore.
(Now shut the door.)

This war can't be won.
No, it can't be won.
But who'd want to win
this war of me?

VERSE:
Someone told me people are strange.
And you know people don't change.
It's hard to know what to do
when everyone's counting on you.

I can scheme a dream that feels right
in the heat of the night.
Then in the cold light of day
everything crumbles away.

I don't much care for your tone.
Why don't you leave me alone?
I think I've told you before.
Baby, this is a one sided war.

CHORUS:
It's in the air as I
sit in my chair and I
feel no peace anymore.

You hold out your hand but I'm
unable to stand 'cause I
feel no peace anymore.

Sat b'hind the wheel as the
sky turns to teal and I
feel no peace anymore.

We hurt those we love when
push comes to shove and I
feel no peace in this war.
(The war of me)

about

Intercontinental Music Lab Cambridge, UK

Since 2008, the Intercontinental Music Lab has produced eight albums. They’ve all been made in the same way. We came up with a concept or theme for an album, then asked people to choose subjects around that theme and compose some music. The theme for our first album was science. The theme for our latest album is Spielberg. Enjoy! ... more
