War Inside My Head

Lyrics written by Mike Portnoy

Music written by John Myung, John Petrucci,

Mike Portnoy, and Jordan Rudess





Napalm showers

Showed the cowards

We weren't there to mess around



Through heat exhaustion

And mind distortion

A military victory mounted on innocent ground



Hearing voices from miles away

Saying things never said

Seeing shadows in the light of the day

Waging a war inside my head



Years and years of

Bloodshed and warfare

Our mission was only to get in and kill



A free vacation

Of palmtrees and shrapnel

Trading innocence for permanent psychotic hell



Hearing voices from miles away

Saying things never said

Seeing shadows in the light of the day

Waging a war inside my head



Feeling strangers staring my way

Reading minds never read

Tasting danger with each word I say

Waging a war inside my head
