2 a.m., staring through the glass
Same reflection, but it don’t look back
I know that body, I know that pain
But the soul in my eyes don’t feel the same
Heartbeat heavy like a guilty plea
Every thought tryna put hands on me
I talk to God, but I hear my voice
Telling me I don’t deserve a choice
Pre-Chorus (half-sung, breathy)
I love me, then I hate me again
Pull myself close, then push to the edge
I keep fighting what I can’t escape
‘Cause every demon I face… wears my face
Chorus (catchy, low-register hook)
I’m fighting demons that wear my face
Late nights got me losing faith
Same lips lying to my brain
Same touch dragging me through pain
I scream for love, but I feel misplaced
Fighting demons that wear my face
Verse 2
I move slow like I’m scared to breathe
If I stop, I might feel everything
I fake smiles just to pass the day
But the truth comes out when I say my name
I been numb so long it feels like peace
Till the silence start talking to me
I chase love, but it run away
When my heart keep turning trust into blame
Pre-Chorus (stacked harmonies building)
I try to heal, then I tear it down
Build my walls just to burn ‘em out
I’m stuck in a war I didn’t choose
Fighting parts of me I can’t lose
Chorus (full, layered)
I’m fighting demons that wear my face
Every night feels like the same replay
Same hands pulling me under again
Same voice saying I’ll never change
I’m begging God for a little grace
While I fight demons that wear my face
Bridge (stripped — drums drop, reverb heavy)
If I’m the poison and the cure
Tell me which side I’m living for
If I survive what’s inside my skin
Maybe I’ll finally let me in
*(Whisper ad-libs: “let me in… let me in…”) *
Final Chorus (emotional lift, but still dark)
I’m fighting demons that wear my face
But I’m still here in this fragile place
I bend, I break, but I don’t erase
Every scar that made me this way
I’m tired, I’m raw, but I still got faith
That I’ll beat the demons…
That wear my face
Outro (spoken / falsetto)
If I’m the war, I’ll learn to stay
If I’m the pain, I won’t look away
Tonight I fight myself again
But tomorrow… I might win
