War Inside My Head

Cracks that were hidden
Begin to show
 Air freezes hard
It is starting to snow
The tv crackles
Pictures begin to fade
My bed lies dormant
Where my sweetheart once laid

But is there nobody who can see, the war inside my head?
The sun is setting on my days
That sky turns a bitter red

The earth roars open
Mountains tumble into the sea
Birds are chained to the sky  
Even they shall not be free
There is a blazing fire
I see Joan Of Arc
A black spider crawls across my floor
Even the dogs too scared to bark

But is there nobody who can see the war inside my head?
I feel the ceiling falling
My hands have turned to lead

Hurricanes continue to ravage
Trees are beginning to bend
The landlord raps hard at the door
Nobody willing to pay the rent
Crows circle wildly in the sky
Sensing an impending doom
The thick skin of the rhino bursts open
Kings sleep in their tomb

But is there nobody who can see this war inside my head?
There is only me in this room
Mind full of dread
