Where My Demons Dwell

I’ve been broke, been bruised, been used,

Had folks talk loud like they wore my shoes.

Ain’t no saint — yeah, I’ve danced through hell,

But I learned my peace where my demons dwell.

I quit chasing ghosts that don’t pay rent,

Quit spending love where it can’t be sent.

Now I walk slow, dust under my soles,

Every mile I earn keeps feeding my soul.

⸻

(Hook)

I’m just singing my truth through the smoke and rain,

Found beauty in the cracks of pain.

Every scar’s just a story I tell,

Every loss made a wish in a well.

⸻

(Verse 2)

I done bled through nights that the sun forgot,

Prayed on floors that the angels watched.

Built my faith from the hurt I caught,

Now I wear my past like a crown I bought.

They judged my fall but they missed my climb,

Couldn’t see the wars I fought in my mind.

Now I move like peace in a world unkind,

Turn my wounds to gold — that’s alchemy in time.

⸻

(Hook)

I’m just singing my truth through the smoke and rain,

Found beauty in the cracks of pain.

Every scar’s just a story I tell,

Every loss made a wish in a well.

⸻

(Bridge)

No more ghosts in the halls I roam,

No more trying to call pain “home.”

Now I walk light — heart full, mind still,

Found my freedom where my demons kneel.

⸻

(Outro)

Yeah, I’ve been broke, been bruised, been used,

Still I rise — yeah, I paid my dues.

Ain’t no saint, but I learned it well —

My heaven’s built where my demons dwell.
