Verse 1:
I wake up numb, no name to wear,
A stranger staring from my stare.
I broke myself a thousand times
Just to survive these twisted lines.
Voices digging in my head,
Telling me I’m better dead.
I hold my breath, I bite the pain,
But every day feels just the same.
Pre-Chorus:
I fell so far, I lost my ground,
Swallowed rage, never made a sound.
You said this weight was all my fault,
But I’m still here — I won’t default.
Chorus:
Between me and the shadow — war!
I’m tearing fear right out my core!
You wanted me to break and crawl,
But I rise from ashes once again!
Between me and the shadow — pain,
But you don’t own me, not my name!
I’m alive, I scream, I stand my ground —
You’ll never tear me down!
Verse 2 (rap/harsh):
Words like bullets in my spine,
Fake promises, crossed the line.
I gave my trust, you fed me lies,
Watched me burn, just to feel alive.
You tried to turn me into stone,
A hollow shell, a walking drone.
But every scar you carved in me
Became the strength you’ll never be.
Pre-Chorus:
You built my fear like walls of steel,
A prison I was meant to feel.
But deep inside I found a spark
You couldn’t kill inside the dark.
Chorus (heavier):
Between me and the shadow — war!
I’m ripping fear right out my core!
You wanted me to break and crawl,
But I rise from ashes once again!
Between me and the shadow — pain,
But you don’t own me, not my name!
I’m alive, I scream, I stand my ground —
You’ll never tear me down!
Bridge (quiet → explosion):
I’m not afraid…
To lose it all…
When nothing’s left,
I finally feel alive!
Breakdown:
YOU WON’T BREAK ME!
CAN’T CONTROL ME!
CAN’T ERASE ME!
Final Chorus:
Between me and the shadow — war!
And I will win it, hear me roar!
I hit the bottom, lost my way,
But this is where I rise today!
Between me and the shadow — light,
I’m stepping out into the fight!
I’m alive, I scream, I stand my ground —
You’ll never tear me down!
