Late nights, demons callin’, I’m barely breathin’,
Heart heavy, mind numb, what’s the meanin’?
Dreams feel safer, so I fade away,
But in the dark, I hear ‘em say,
"Why you runnin', kid? Can’t face the truth?
Pain don’t heal, it just uncovers the proof."
Shadows on the walls, I’m trapped in my head,
But the world’s still spinnin’, so I’m outta my bed.
We fall asleep, ‘cause the world don’t care,
Dreams hold us tight when life ain’t fair.
We hit the ground just to rise again,
Breakin' the chains, fightin' through the pain.
Momma cried, said, “Life ain’t kind,”
Pops said, “You gotta grind or die tryin’.”
But how do I fight when the battle’s me?
Lookin' in the mirror, that’s my worst enemy.
But even in the dark, I see a flicker of light,
Gotta keep movin’, one more fight.
Every scar I got tells a story I lived,
So I wear ‘em proud, they remind me to forgive.
We fall asleep, ‘cause the world don’t care,
Dreams hold us tight when life ain’t fair.
We hit the ground just to rise again,
Breakin' the chains, fightin' through the pain.
You ever feel like givin' up, just quit?
Like the pain ain’t worth it, like this life ain’t it?
But trust me, you stronger than the hate you face,
Every step you take, you leave a trace.
You matter, even if the world don’t see,
Every breath you take is a victory.
So we fall asleep to escape the fight,
But the morning comes, bringin' back the light.
One step at a time, you’ll rise tall,
That’s the reason why we fall asleep at all.
