(Verse 1 – whispered, confessional, minimal beat)
I kept my twenties in a locked-up room,
Bad decisions hanging like a silver moon.
I ran from myself in the dead of night,
Every lie I told was another fight.
Shadows in the mirror learned my name,
I danced with trouble just to feel something again.
(Pre-Chorus – rising tension, breathy vocals, synth swell)
But the truth comes back, even when you run,
Every scar I’ve earned was a lesson begun.
I don’t hide the parts I tried to deny—
Not anymore, not tonight.
(Chorus – haunting, echoing, dark-pop pulse)
‘Cause it’s where my demons hide,
In the corners of the nights I barely survived.
In the memories I tried to burn alive,
In the girl I lost before I learned to fight.
Yeah, it’s where my demons hide—
But I ain’t scared of the dark this time.
(Verse 2 – soft, smoky, slow-building bass)
I kept my secrets under broken glass,
Pretending all the damage was in the past.
But healing’s slow when the wounds run deep,
And some mistakes don’t ever fall asleep.
Still, I rise, even bruised and torn—
A woman rebuilt from the wreck I wore.
(Pre-Chorus – same tension build, slight harmony added)
And the truth comes back, even when you run,
Every scar I’ve earned turned me into someone
Who can face the things she once denied—
Yeah, I see them clear tonight.
(Chorus – stronger vocals, layered echoes, heavier drop)
‘Cause it’s where my demons hide,
In the corners of the nights I barely survived.
In the memories I tried to burn alive,
In the girl I lost before I learned to fight.
Yeah, it’s where my demons hide—
But I ain’t scared of the dark this time.
(Bridge – ethereal, floating, reverb-heavy, almost spoken)
Lights out, I still breathe.
All the ghosts inside don’t control me.
I’m not that runaway girl anymore—
I’m the storm they couldn’t ignore.
(Final Chorus – empowering, full vocal stack, big cinematic lift)
‘Cause it’s where my demons hide,
But I walk through the fire with my head held high.
Those wild mistakes I made in my reckless life—
They’re ashes now, and I’ve reclaimed my mind.
Yeah, it’s where my demons hide—
But I turned that darkness into light.
