[Verse]
Down in the shadows of my mind,
Where secrets and nightmares intertwine,
I wandered through the dark and haze,
Searching for the truth in a fiery blaze.
[Verse 2]
Project Artichoke left its scar,
Turned my thoughts to jagged shards,
From the vaults of the CIA,
They tried to mold me like a piece of clay.
[Chorus]
But I'm stepping up, reclaiming my soul,
From the depths, I rise, make myself whole,
Life put me through the fiercest test,
Now I'm forging ahead, doing my best.
[Verse 3]
A pawn in a game nobody knew,
Voices whispered a twisted tune,
Under their spell, I’ve walked alone,
But broken chains are stepping stones.
[Verse 4]
Memories flooded, torrential rain,
Echoes of a past filled with pain,
Gonna wrestle with the ghosts at bay,
Reignite the fire, find my way.
[Chorus]
But I'm stepping up, reclaiming my soul,
From the depths, I rise, make myself whole,
Life put me through the fiercest test,
Now I'm forging ahead, doing my best.
