Shadows

Verse 1)

I’ve been crawling through the ashes,

Breathing smoke just to survive,

Every scar is like a whisper,

Telling me I’m still alive.

The night won’t show me mercy,

But I’ve learned to love the pain,

‘Cause in the silence of my breakdown,

I can hear my name.

(Pre-Chorus)

I’m not the one I used to be,

Built from the pieces left in me,

(Chorus)

I’m fighting demons in the dark,

They’re tearing holes inside my heart,

But I won’t fade, I won’t fall apart,

I rise from the shadows, I rise from the scars.

The fire’s burning in my veins,

Through all the thunder, through the chains,

I’ll scream my name into the rain,

I rise from the shadows again.

(Verse 2)

I’ve danced with every nightmare,

Tasted fear like bitter wine,

But even in the blackest hour,

The light was always mine.

I’m done with all the waiting,

I’m done with being small,

You can break my bones, but never

Take my soul at all.

(Pre-Chorus)

I’m not afraid of what I’ve seen,

I’m made of fire, steel, and dreams.

(Chorus)

I’m fighting demons in the dark,

They’re tearing holes inside my heart,

But I won’t fade, I won’t fall apart,

I rise from the shadows, I rise from the scars.

The fire’s burning in my veins,

Through all the thunder, through the chains,

I’ll scream my name into the rain,

I rise from the shadows again.

(Bridge)

And when the voices call my name,

I’ll turn their whispers into flame,

No more running, no more shame—

This is my war, my reclaim.

(Final Chorus)

I’m fighting demons in the dark,

They’re tearing holes inside my heart,

But I won’t fade, I won’t fall apart,

I rise from the shadows, I rise from the scars.

The fire’s burning in my veins,

Through all the thunder, through the chains,

I’m still alive, I broke the pain—

I rise from the shadows again.
