[Verse 1]
Woke up in a war I didn't choose
Claw marks on my chest again
Shadows spelling out "you lose"
Every mirror feels like judgment day
I pace holes in the bedroom floor
Heartbeat like a warning flare
All these voices keeping score
Say I'm nothing
Say I won't repair
[Chorus]
I'm fighting my demons with teeth in the dark
Bleeding but breathing
Still guarding the spark
I stumble
I fracture
I crawl through the fire
I'm lost in the maze
But I won't retire
(never give in, never give in)
[Verse 2]
Hands shake
But I clench 'em tight
White knuckles on the steering wheel
Drive straight through another night
Praying that the numb will feel
Every scar is a battle hymn
Written on a battered skin
I hear doubt trying to drag me in
But I bite down
I won't give in
[Chorus]
I'm fighting my demons with teeth in the dark
Bleeding but breathing
Still guarding the spark
I stumble
I fracture
I crawl through the fire
I'm lost in the maze
But I won't retire
(you won't bury me)
[Bridge]
You say I'm broken?
Watch me break the chains
You call this hopeless?
I call it training days
Let the fear come
Let the floor shake
I am still here
I will not break (hey!)
[Chorus]
I'm fighting my demons with teeth in the dark
Bleeding but breathing
Still guarding the spark
I stumble
I fracture
I crawl through the fire
I'm lost in the maze
But fueled by desire
I'm fighting my demons
They tear me apart
But I keep on swinging with holes in my heart
I stagger
I suffer
I roar through the wire
I'm lost
Yeah I'm lost
But I won't retire
(I won't quit, I won't quit)
