Fight For The Light

[Verse 1]
Heart racing
Can’t name it
Same room
Feels dangerous
Fake smile
On my face, though
Mind loud
Like a stage show
Hands shake
But I stand here
Say “fine”
When I mean “scared”
I been
My own rival
Reading pain
Like a Bible
[Chorus]
This is how I fight my fear
Talking to the dark till it disappears
Yeah I fall, but I rise each time
I’m a cracked old bell
Still gonna chime
This is how I live through nights
Turning every bruise into battle stripes
I’m afraid, but I still walk blind
I got a little bit of light
And that’s mine (that’s mine)
[Verse 2]
Anxiety
In the front row
Clap hands
For my low blows
Depression
On my back seat
Whisper,
“Boy, you can’t beat me”
But I breathe in
Count five slow
Name things
In my window
One sky
Two cars passing
I’m here
And my heart’s still blasting (yeah)
[Chorus]
This is how I fight my fear
Talking to the dark till it disappears
Yeah I fall, but I rise each time
I’m a cracked old bell
Still gonna chime
This is how I live through nights
Turning every bruise into battle stripes
I’m afraid, but I still walk blind
I got a little bit of light
And that’s mine (that’s mine)
[Bridge]
I ain’t weak
‘Cause I feel this
Stronger ‘cause
I reveal it
Every tear
Is a war scar
Every “help”
Is a push start (hey)
If you’re down
You’re not done yet
Every hard breath
Is progress
[Chorus]
This is how we fight our fear
Talking to the dark till it disappears
Yeah we fall, but we rise each time
We’re a hundred cracked bells
Still gonna chime
This is how we live through nights
Turning every bruise into battle stripes
We’re afraid, but we still walk blind
We got a little bit of light
And that’s ours (that’s ours)

rap, Dark, moody trap beat around 92 BPM, deep sub bass and tight kicks. Sparse piano stabs in the verses under tense, close-mic male vocals; chorus swells with layered chant-style doubles and airy pads. Ad-libs tucked wide in the stereo field, snare rolls and risers to lift into each hook, final chorus opens with extra harmonies and a ringing cymbal for impact., strong, light
