Verse 1
Every scar tells a tale
Of a ship that barely sailed
Every wound beneath my skin
Is a war I couldn’t win
Every shadow in my mind
Leaves another mark behind
Every battle that I lost
Left a memory of the cost
⸻
Verse 2
People say to let it go
But they never really know
What it’s like to fight a mind
That leaves your soul behind
Every smile hides the truth
Of the damage from my youth
Every silence in the night
Turns my thoughts into a fight
⸻
Chorus
Shadows in my skin remain
Every scar a trace of pain
Every ghost I carry still
Reminds me of the battles ill
Shadows in my skin tonight
Still surviving every fight
Even when the darkness wins
I’m still breathing deep within
⸻
Verse 3
Every mirror tells a lie
About the man I try to hide
Every reflection that I see
Shows the weight inside of me
Memories like faded ink
Push me closer to the brink
Every step I try to take
Feels like walking on a quake
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Maybe scars were meant to stay
Just to guide us on the way
⸻
Chorus
Shadows in my skin still crawl
Every rise before the fall
Every scar reminds me when
I survived the storm again
Shadows in my skin remain
But they no longer rule my pain
Even when the night begins
I won’t drown within my skin
⸻
Bridge (heavy emotional breakdown)
Broken pieces form the man
Learning how to stand again
Every crack along the way
Let a little sunlight stay
Maybe darkness had to win
Just to show the strength within
⸻
Breakdown (quiet moment)
The war may live beneath my skin
But it doesn’t mean I can’t win
Every breath is proof again
I’m still standing in the end
⸻
Final Chorus (big emotional ending)
Shadows in my skin may stay
But they won’t steal my day
Every scar that once was pain
Now reminds me I remain
Shadows in my skin still fade
Every choice that I have made
Every step that I begin
Is stronger than the past within
⸻
Outro
The shadows whisper soft and thin
But they no longer pull me in
The scars may stay where they have been
But I’m more than the skin I’m in.
