War of Nerves - All Saints, Niven Garland

Monday on the line, when you know that now’s the time

To leave and be free, aware of your destiny

When that moment arrives, world’s visions through the mind

And all I see is what used to be, my life could soon be a memory

I don’t ever wanna feel the pain

Wanna be ready when you call my name

I don’t ever wanna feel the fear

'Cause every night feels alright when you’re near

Battles through this war of nerves when your life, it takes a turn

What I have is what I fear, while in my mind you’re lying here

Fear that unholy dread, there’s a piece of me in all he says

All kinds of weird stuff inside my head, this stage fright in my own bed (ah…)

I don’t ever wanna feel the pain (ooh)

Wanna be ready when you call my name (ah…)

I don’t ever wanna feel the fear (ooh)

'Cause every night feels alright when you’re near

Don’t wanna be like a voice without word

Cause I need you here with me

Don’t wanna be alone in this world

No will I suppress my fear?

Don’t wanna beat this war of nerves

I don’t ever wanna feel the pain (ooh)

Wanna be ready when you call my name (ah…)

I don’t ever wanna feel the fear (ooh)

'Cause every night feels alright when you’re near

I don’t ever wanna feel the pain (ooh)

When it’s over, will I feel the same?

(ah…)

I don’t ever wanna feel the fear (ooh)

This war of nerves that I reserve for when you’re here

I don’t ever wanna feel the pain (ooh)

I’m feeling hurt but I feel no shame (no-no-no-no-no-no)

I don’t ever wanna feel the fear (ooh)

Do I deserve these cruel words we have here?
