[Verse 1]
They talk in the cracks of the ceiling
In the hum of the late-night fan
Every shadow knows my secrets
Every mirror shows their hands
Daylight feels like borrowed armor
Nighttime strips it off my skin
I keep circling the same old corner
Where the voices drag me in
[Chorus]
I’m fighting my demons
Day and night
Let them out before they swallow my mind
If I keep them caged
I bleed from the strain
I lose myself in all this pain
I’m fighting my demons
Hear them scream
If I don’t release
They devour my dreams
Let them out
Let them out of my head
Or they’ll drag me down till I’m dead
[Verse 2]
They sit in the smoke of the city
In the blue glare off my phone
Every headline tastes like poison
Every heartbeat feels alone
I’m so tired of being their prison
Of pretending I’m okay
So I claw these walls wide open
Let them spill out from my veins
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I won’t wear their chains like skin
I won’t call this weight “just life”
Every scar’s a loaded question
Every breath
A sharpened knife
[crescendo]
So I scream their names in the open (open!)
Let them echo
Let them burn
If the darkness leaves my body
Maybe light can have its turn
[Chorus]
