[Intro]
Yeah, it's the weight that I carry, felt so heavy every day
Trying to find my way out, but I keep slipping away
This is my story, it's raw, it's real, no rehab
Just me against myself, battling the past I have
[Verse 1]
Woke up feeling lost, shadows in my mind
Dark clouds above, can't seem to find the light
Every step I take feels like a step in place
Fighting inner demons, trapped within this space
Falter in my efforts, scars I can't erase
Old habits creeping, got me losing the race
Trying to break free but the chains won’t dissolve
Drowning in doubt, who am I to resolve?
Thought I’d find peace, but it’s a constant fight
Falling back again, night after night
Dreams of being better, but I’m stuck in the cycle
Searching for hope, but it’s buried in the current
[Pre-Chorus]
No matter how hard I try, I keep falling back
Like I’m running in circles, stuck on the same track
Wanna be the best me but I can’t break free
Caught in this struggle, just trying to be me
[Chorus]
I wanna shine, I wanna rise, I wanna break the chains
But these old ways, they calling, whispering my name
Feeling powerless at times, but I gotta stand tall
Even when I stumble, I gotta give it my all
[Verse 2]
Mirror reflects a stranger, tired from the fight
Battling my mind day and night
Fears and doubts, they linger around
Trying to find my voice, trying to make a sound
But I keep slipping, falling in the same trap
Trying to map out a way, but I don’t know where it’s at
Every step forward, two steps back
Hoping someday I’ll find a way to break the shack
I'm tired of this battle, tired of the pain
Hoping for sunshine after rain
But these storms keep on raging, trying to drown my hope
Learning to breathe, learning to cope
[Pre-Chorus]
No matter how hard I try, I keep falling back
Like I’m running in circles, stuck on the same track
Wanna be the best me but I can’t break free
Caught in this struggle, just trying to be me
[Chorus]
I wanna shine, I wanna rise, I wanna break the chains
But these old ways, they calling, whispering my name
Feeling powerless at times, but I gotta stand tall
Even when I stumble, I gotta give it my all
[Bridge]
This is the fight for my soul, the war in my mind
Gotta find that strength, leave the darkness behind
Every scar tells a story, every fall teaches a lesson
Gotta keep moving forward, no more second-guessing
[Outro]
Maybe someday I’ll find the peace I seek
Until then, I’m fighting, I’m strong, I believe
In the person I’m destined to be, not just who I see
Climbing out these shadows, setting myself free
