Shadows in My Mind

[Intro]
Shadows in my mind, echoes of the past
Trying to find a way to heal, to make this pain last

[Verse 1]
Walked through storms of doubt, scars that run so deep
Lost in the silence, in the memories I keep
Family's whispers, shadows full of pain
Trying to break free, but the chains remain

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just fighting to survive, taking one step at a time
Facing demons in my mind, searching for a sign

[Chorus]
I'm stronger than I thought, yet lost inside
Trying to find the light in this endless night
Calling out for help, but scared to be seen
A warrior in a battle, torn in between

[Verse 2]
Controlling echoes, voices that deceive
Learning to breathe again, learning to believe
The world doesn't see what lies behind my eyes
Every step forward, a silent cry

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just fighting to survive, taking one step at a time
Facing demons in my mind, searching for a sign

[Chorus]
I'm stronger than I thought, yet lost inside
Trying to find the light in this endless night
Calling out for help, but scared to be seen
A warrior in a battle, torn in between

[Bridge]
Every scar a story, every tear a song
Trying to find my way back where I belong
Not alone, though I feel lost in the storm
One day I'll find peace and be reborn

[Outro]
Shadows in my mind, slowly fading away
Step by step, I'll face a brand new day
Strength in my heart, hope in my sight
Moving towards the dawn from the night
