Still Standing

Verse 1

Midnight’s screaming in my head again,

Static crawling through my veins,

Every whisper says, “Just let it end,”

Every shadow knows my name.

Walls are closing, breath is tight,

Darkness telling me to fall—

But there’s a spark beneath the ashes,

And it’s not done at all.

Pre-Chorus

I’m bruised, I’m bent, I’m barely holding on,

But a heartbeat’s still a battle drum.

Chorus

I won’t fade into the black,

I won’t let the darkness win,

Every scar upon my back

Is proof I’m fighting still within.

When the voices try to pull me down,

When the edge feels way too close—

I’ll scream it loud, I’ll stand my ground,

I’m not giving up my ghost.

Verse 2

Mirrors lie and say I’m weak,

That I’ll never break these chains,

But I’ve survived a thousand storms

Raging in my brain.

Tears fall like gasoline,

But they won’t light this fuse—

I’ve got fire in my lungs tonight,

And I refuse to lose.

Pre-Chorus

Shaking hands, but I won’t let go,

There’s more to me than what I know.

Chorus

I won’t fade into the black,

I won’t let the darkness win,

Every scar upon my back

Is proof I’m fighting still within.

When the voices try to pull me down,

When the edge feels way too close—

I’ll scream it loud, I’ll stand my ground,

I’m not giving up my ghost.

Bridge (Breakdown Style)

You can push me to the breaking point,

You can tell me I’m alone—

But every breath is rebellion,

Every step is my own.

I’m not the lie inside my head,

I’m not the fear I feel—

I’m every time I chose to live,

Every wound that chose to heal.

Final Chorus (Big, Anthem Style)

I won’t fade into the black,

I won’t let the darkness win,

Even if my heart attacks

With doubt beneath my skin.

When tomorrow feels too far away

And hope feels like a ghost—

I’ll hold on through the hurricane,

And fight for one breath more.

Outro

One breath more…

One night more…

Still standing.

Still fighting.
