Endless War Within

Shadows creep beneath my skin, a war I know I can never win

Echoes in my mind, a fight I can't begin

Every mirror's a battlefield, mine or theirs?

Lost in a storm of doubts, caught in silent prayers

Morning breaks, but I'm still fighting my own mind

Truths twist and turn, slipping out of sight

My whole life a battlefield, scars I can't see

For my son, I wear this mask

The man I want him to see

Holding on with trembling hands

Trying to understand what I am

Fighting the darkness within

Hoping love can still begin

This war inside, no ceasefire tonight

Battles fade to black, but I want to survive

For his smile, for his light

I'll keep fighting through the endless night

Voices whisper, question who I am

Names I’ve been called, and still need to change

The scars across my body inflicted by my own hand

Every moment's a hill too steep

Chasing peace I can't seem to keep

Breaking down, but I stand tall

For him, I gotta face it all

Battling the fears I hide

Searching for the truth inside

This war inside, no ceasefire tonight

Battles fade to black, but I want to survive

For his smile, for his light

I'll keep fighting through the endless night

In the chaos, I still dream of peace

A quiet place where this hurt will cease

Love's a fragile thread, I still cling to

The hope I feel when I look in his eyes

Telling me to see it through

Shadows fade in the dawn’s first light

Still fighting this war, like and endless night

For his future, for my soul

The worst is this battle, I must not lose control
