Verse 1
Night was long and the fight was real
Every wound I had to feel
Every demon had its say
But somehow I lived another day
Broken glass beneath my feet
Every loss and each defeat
Every shadow in my head
Tried to drag me with the dead
⸻
Verse 2
Ashes falling from the sky
From every tear I used to cry
Every scar across my soul
Is proof I never lost control
The silence after every storm
Feels so quiet, feels so warm
Like the darkness finally broke
After years of choking smoke
⸻
Chorus
After the war inside my mind
I finally saw the sun
Every battle left a scar
But I know I’m not the only one
After the war inside my soul
I finally see the light
Maybe healing takes a lifetime
But I’m still here to fight
⸻
Verse 3
I walked through fire in my chest
Carrying every failed test
Every doubt that tried to stay
Couldn’t take my breath away
Broken roads and shattered dreams
Nothing’s ever what it seems
But every night eventually
Gives the dawn a chance to be
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Every scar becomes a map
Showing me the way back
⸻
Chorus
After the war inside my mind
I finally saw the sun
Every battle left a scar
But I know I’m not the only one
After the war inside my soul
I finally see the light
Maybe healing takes a lifetime
But I’m still here to fight
⸻
Bridge (big emotional buildup)
Maybe the pain was meant to stay
Just to guide me through the gray
Maybe every broken part
Built a stronger beating heart
Every tear and every fall
Didn’t mean the end at all
Every night I thought I’d lose
Still gave me another fuse
⸻
Breakdown (quiet grunge moment)
The battlefield inside my chest
Finally starts to rest
The smoke begins to drift away
As darkness turns to day
⸻
Final Chorus (huge ending)
After the war inside my head
I rose up from the dead
Every sunrise proves it’s true
The darkest night can break in two
After the war inside my soul
I finally took control
Every scar now lights the way
To a brighter, better day
⸻
Outro
Morning light across the land
Peace is finally close at hand
The war may rage inside myself
But now I know I need some help
The night may fall again someday
But I won’t be swept away
Because the sun still burns above
And the war was fought with love.
