[Verse 1]
I woke up with the weight
Sitting on my chest
Bills on the table
And a name I can't forget
Mama on the phone
Trying not to break
Little brother asking
Why the walls shake
I seen the old me
In the bathroom glass
Eyes like a fight
That I thought would pass
Love left a scar
That still likes to talk
And grief keeps pacing
Every time I walk
[Pre-Chorus]
But I stayed in the room
When the dark came near
Hands shook hard
Still I made it here
If my mind's a storm
I can learn the rain
I don't have to bleed
Just to prove the pain
[Chorus]
I'm fighting the demon
Face to face
I'm fighting the demon
I won't lose my place
Past in my teeth
Future in my hands
I'm still here
Still making a stand
I'm fighting the demon
Face to face
(Still here)
I'm fighting the demon
I won't erase
[Verse 2]
Found a letter in the drawer
From the year I ran
Half my dreams in pencil
Half in shaking hands
Tried to be the rock
When the house went thin
But the roof kept caving
And the air wore skin
My heart got tired
My faith got small
I loved too hard
Then I watched it fall
Still I learned the names
Of the parts that hurt
You can't heal a wound
If you never search
[Pre-Chorus]
So I called my name
Like it mattered then
Said come on home
Don't disappear again
If my mind's a storm
I can learn the rain
I don't have to bleed
Just to prove the pain
[Chorus]
I'm fighting the demon
Face to face
I'm fighting the demon
I won't lose my place
Past in my teeth
Future in my hands
I'm still here
Still making a stand
I'm fighting the demon
Face to face
(Still here)
I'm fighting the demon
I won't erase
[Bridge]
If I fall apart
Let me fall honest
If I need help
Let me say it
I was never made
For a perfect war
I was made to rise
One scar more
My family cried
And I heard that sound
Like a broken home
Learning how to stand
So I took that hurt
And I named it mine
Then I walked it out
Into the light
[Final Chorus]
I'm fighting the demon
Face to face
I'm fighting the demon
I won't lose my place
Past in my teeth
Future in my hands
I'm still here
Still making a stand
I'm fighting the demon
Face to face
(Still here)
I'm fighting the demon
I won't erase
[Outro]
Past in my teeth
Future in my hands
I'm still here
Still making a stand
