Constant Battle With My Mind

[Verse 1]
Sunset on the dash
But my head still stuck on dark
Got a smile I wear in public
And a storm behind my heart
Coffee gone cold on the counter
Phone lighting up, I let it ring
Everybody thinks they know me
They don't hear this whole damn thing
[Chorus]
I am in a constant battle with my mind
This depression got me feeling like I'm alone (please help me)
I keep sayin' "I'm fine" when I'm dying inside
Talkin' to God like "are You there, 'cause I don't know" (please help me)
If you hear me at all tonight
I'm in a constant battle with my mind
[Verse 2]
Mama asks if I'm okay
I change the subject, crack a joke
Scrollin' through other people's blessings
Chokin' on my own smoke
Got a Bible on the nightstand
Dust thick on every page
I keep wrestlin' with these questions
And this quiet, heavy rage
[Chorus]
I am in a constant battle with my mind
This depression got me feeling like I'm alone (please help me)
I keep sayin' "I'm fine" when I'm dying inside
Talkin' to God like "are You there, 'cause I don't know" (please help me)
If you hear me at all tonight
I'm in a constant battle with my mind
[Bridge]
Some days I get out of bed
Some days the bed wins instead
But I'm still breathin', still here standin'
Even with this weight in my chest
[Chorus]
I am in a constant battle with my mind
This depression got me feeling like I'm alone (please help me)
I keep sayin' "I'm fine" when I'm dying inside
Talkin' to God like "are You there, 'cause I don't know" (please help me)
If you hear me at all tonight
I'm in a constant battle with my mind (please help me)

country, Moody country-trap crossover with male vocals, mellow acoustic guitar and distant pedal steel over a slow, booming 808 groove. Intimate verse delivery, almost spoken, then a wider, melodic chorus with stacked harmonies and soft gospel-style backing. Subtle organ pads in the background; snare stays tight and dry. Final chorus lifts with extra ad-libs and a slightly brighter mix to hint at hope in the struggle.
