Under My Skin

[SECTION: PRE-INTRO]  
Shadows crawling through the night  
I feel the weight, I feel the fight  
Every heartbeat drags me down  
Every step I take shakes the ground  

[SECTION: VERSE 1]  
I can’t shake this weight tonight  
Every thought is a fight  
Walls closing in, ceiling bending  
I’m searching for a way to stop pretending  

I tell myself I’m stronger than this  
But silence keeps dragging, I can’t dismiss  
Cracks inside me getting wide  
I’m staring at the pieces I’ve tried to hide  

[SECTION: PRE-CHORUS]  
I whisper, leave me alone…  
Something laughs, it’s in my bones  
I try to run, I try to break  
It’s everywhere I can’t escape  

[SECTION: CHORUS 1]  
[ROCK CHORUS] You’re under my skin  
[ROCK CHORUS] Twisting, turning, pulling me in  
[ROCK CHORUS] I fight, I scream, I can’t begin  
[ROCK CHORUS] To break what you’ve buried within  

[SECTION: VERSE 2]  
I thought I could win this fight  
I felt I was okay, that I was whole  
But doubts claw deeper than I knew  
And shadows linger where the light should be  

[SECTION: VERSE 3]  
I can’t run from what’s inside  
Every doubt, every fear  
I hear it whisper when I’m alone  
Reminding me of what I try to hide  

[SECTION: BRIDGE 1]  
I’m drowning in the dark  
Suffocating, can’t find a spark  
The light I thought I had inside  
Flickers… dies… I’m petrified  
Every breath is pulling me under  

[SECTION: BRIDGE 2]  
The weight I carry pulls me down  
Secrets I can’t speak  
Every doubt, every fear  
Lives in the corners of my mind  
The night won’t let me go

GUITAR SOLO - INSTRUMENTAL  

[SECTION: FINAL CHORUS]  
[ROCK CHORUS] You’re under my skin  
[ROCK CHORUS] Twisting, turning, pulling me in  
[ROCK CHORUS] I fight, I scream, I can’t begin  
[ROCK CHORUS] To break what you’ve buried within  
[ROCK CHORUS] But I’m still standing, I won’t give in  

[SECTION: OUTRO]  
Maybe one day I’ll see the sun  
Maybe I’ll feel like I’ve won  
But for now, you’re here  
And I’m still… under my skin
