SHADOWS IN MY CHEST

Yeah…

Late nights, cold lights,

I’ve been fighting with my own mind…

I got shadows in my chest I can’t erase,

People come and go but never leave a trace.

I’ve been running from the pain I try to face,

But every time I heal, it hits me in the same place.

I got demons in my head that never rest,

I’ve been climbing but the world feels like a test.

If you weren’t with me when I had nothing left,

Don’t you dare come back now saying that you’re blessed.

I remember nights alone, staring at the ceiling,

Trying to understand why I can’t control the feeling.

Everybody talking like they know what I’ve been dealing,

But they disappear the moment that I start revealing.

I was down bad, nobody cared where I was at,

Now they hit my phone like “bro, you next, you on the map.”

Funny how they love you when you finally bounce back,

But they vanish when you’re broken, lying flat.

I’ve been walking through the fire with my heart cold,

Trust is something that I never learned to hold.

People switch sides quicker than the stories told,

So I keep my circle tight, never fold.

And I know I’m not the same as I was before,

Every scar I carry now became a metaphor.

For the battles that I fought behind a locked door,

For the nights I swore I couldn’t take it anymore.

I got shadows in my chest I can’t erase,

People come and go but never leave a trace.

I’ve been running from the pain I try to face,

But every time I heal, it hits me in the same place.

I got demons in my head that never rest,

I’ve been climbing but the world feels like a test.

If you weren’t with me when I had nothing left,

Don’t you dare come back now saying that you’re blessed.

I’ve been trying to find myself inside the noise,

Everybody screaming, but I’m tired of the voice.

Life is full of choices, but I never had a choice,

Had to build my own path, had to make my own poise.

I’ve been losing sleep, chasing dreams I never see,

Trying to be the person that I know I’m meant to be.

But the pressure on my shoulders always weighing heavily,

Still I rise again, even when it’s killing me.

I don’t need fake love, keep it far away,

If you didn’t ride with me, you don’t get a say.

I’ve been fighting battles that I never display,

But I’m stronger now, I’m built from the clay.

And I know… I know…

Every wound I hide will someday glow.

And I grow… I grow…

From the pain I carry everywhere I go.

I got shadows in my chest I can’t erase,

People come and go but never leave a trace.

I’ve been running from the pain I try to face,

But every time I heal, it hits me in the same place.

I got demons in my head that never rest,

I’ve been climbing but the world feels like a test.

If you weren’t with me when I had nothing left,

Don’t you dare come back now saying that you’re blessed.

Yeah…

Shadows in my chest…

But I’m still here…

Still blessed…

Still next…
