[Intro]
(distant vocals)
Late nights…
Same thoughts…
Same war…
Different day…
[Verse 1]
I’ve been walkin’ through the dark, got my head down,
Everybody talkin’ loud, I don’t hear sounds,
Built myself from the dirt where I fell down,
Now they wonder why I never come around.
I’ve been carryin’ weight that they don’t see,
Smilin’ in their face while it’s killin’ me,
Got a hundred dreams and a hundred scars,
Tryna touch the sky while I’m stuck beneath.
[Pre-Chorus]
And every night…
I fight the devil I know…
Inside my mind…
The only place I can’t go…
[Chorus]
Me and my shadows ridin’ through the night,
Tryna find peace but it’s nowhere in sight,
Everybody sleepin’, I’m payin’ the price,
Chasin’ a future that’ll change my life.
The devil I know…
Lives in my soul…
The devil I know…
Won’t let me go…
[Verse 2]
Mountain gets steeper every step I take,
Some people quit, I got too much at stake,
Lost a lot of time, made a lot of mistakes,
But pressure makes diamonds, that’s why I won’t break.
I’ve been feelin’ alone in a crowded room,
Like the world got color but I’m stuck on blue,
Everybody want results, never see the work,
Never felt this pain, never wore these shoes.
[Bridge]
Maybe this pain is the reason I’m growin’,
Maybe these scars are the proof that I’m chosen,
Maybe the nights that I thought I was broken,
Were really the nights I became who I’m supposed to be.
[Final Chorus]
Me and my shadows ridin’ through the night,
Tryna find peace but it’s nowhere in sight,
Everybody sleepin’, I’m payin’ the price,
Chasin’ a future that’ll change my life.
The devil I know…
Lives in my soul…
The devil I know…
Won’t let me go…
[Outro]
If nobody comes…
Climb anyway…
If nobody believes…
Win anyway…
If nobody follows…
Lead anyway…
Because the mountain wasn’t built…
For everybody.
