Shadows In My Mind

Verse 1

I hear the silence, but feel his stare

Every corner I turn, I know he’s there

I tell myself to breathe, to stand, to run

But his shadow lingers, blocking the sun

The world doesn’t notice, they don’t see

The weight he puts on what should be me

I tuck my fear behind a careful smile

But inside, I’ve been afraid a while

Pre-Chorus

I won’t let him break me, I won’t obey

Even when the darkness wants to stay

Chorus

I am not yours, I am my own

I’ll fight the shadows, I won’t be overthrown

Every step I take, I claim my name

I’ll rise above, I won’t play your game

I won’t vanish in your stormy tide

I’ll find my strength, I won’t hide

Verse 2

I’ve walked on glass, I’ve felt the sting

The lies, the whispers, the controlling strings

But my heart is mine, my voice is loud

I won’t be lost in your dangerous shroud

Every secret glance, every threat unsaid

Can’t cage the life I live ahead

I gather pieces of my fractured soul

And in the fire, I reclaim control

Pre-Chorus

I won’t let him break me, I won’t obey

Even when the darkness wants to stay

Chorus

I am not yours, I am my own

I’ll fight the shadows, I won’t be overthrown

Every step I take, I claim my name

I’ll rise above, I won’t play your game

I won’t vanish in your stormy tide

I’ll find my strength, I won’t hide

Bridge

I am the voice he cannot take

I am the life he cannot break

Fear is a shadow, I will outshine

I hold my heart, my soul is mine

Final Chorus

I am not yours, I am my own

I’ll fight the shadows, I won’t be overthrown

Every step I take, I claim my name

I’ll rise above, I won’t play your game

I won’t vanish in your stormy tide

I’ll find my strength, I won’t hide

Outro

Even when he lurks and darkness calls

I’ll stand my ground, I won’t fall

This is my life, this is my fight

I am the light that owns the night
