FIGHT FOR MY LIFE

Yeah…

Another night, another war in my head,

Counting all the reasons I should stay in bed.

They say “you’ll be alright,” but they don’t know my pain,

I smile in the daylight, then drown in the rain.

I got shadows in my bedroom,

Demons know my name,

Every scar became a story,

Every smile became a game.

I’ve been running from myself,

Got nowhere left to hide,

There’s a war inside my chest,

And I’m barely getting by.

Cold nights, no sleep,

These thoughts getting too deep,

That voice keeps screaming,

“You’re too weak, just leave.”

But I clench my fists tighter,

Back against the wall,

If I’m gonna hit the bottom,

I’m fighting through it all.

I’m fighting for my life tonight,

Even when I can’t find the light.

Got a heart full of broken glass,

Still refusing to collapse.

Let the whole damn world go black,

I’ve been through hell and made it back.

If surviving’s all I got,

Then I’ll give it everything I’ve got.

I’m fighting for my life.

I lost pieces of myself

Trying to keep the peace,

Gave away my everything

Just to make the hurting cease.

Now I’m staring in the mirror,

Don’t recognize the face,

Telling myself, “You made it here,

Don’t throw it all away.”

I don’t have to be fearless,

I just need one more breath,

One more step through the darkness,

One more fight against the stress.

Maybe healing isn’t pretty,

Maybe hope don’t feel like hope,

Maybe strength is waking up

When you don’t wanna cope.

Let me scream until my lungs give out,

Let me bleed these memories out.

I won’t let the darkness take me,

I won’t let the past remake me.

I’m fighting for my life tonight,

Even when I can’t find the light.

Got a heart full of broken glass,

Still refusing to collapse.

The darkness can scream my name,

But it doesn’t get the final say.

I’m still here, I’m still alive
