Battles Within

[Intro]
Caught in the whirlwind, trying to stand tall
Battles in my mind make me stumble and fall
Wishing for normal, a simple routine
But shadows and chaos intervene

[Verse 1]
Morning hits, alarm bells ring loud
Focus slips away, lost in the crowd
Mind racing, thoughts flicker and fray
Trying to hold on, just one more day

[Pre-Chorus]
Dreaming of stability, a steady pace
But my memories and thoughts leave no trace
Longing for calm, a peaceful mind
To just work normal, leave fears behind

[Chorus]
Struggling to keep a job, fighting the doubts
Living with the storms inside, trying not to shout
Wishing I could fit in, be just like the rest
But my mind’s a battlefield, feeling unrest

[Bridge]
Every deadline feels like a mountain high
My past shadows cast doubts I can't deny
Seeking some peace, a break from the fight
Hoping one day I’ll find my light

[Outro]
Maybe someday, a way to heal
Find a place where I can truly feel
Until then, I’ll keep trying my best
Keep fighting the storm inside my chest
