[Intro – Whisper]
I’m scared…
I’m scared of the person staring back at me…
Can anybody hear me?
[Verse 1]
I’m terrified of what I’ve become,
A fractured reflection where the light won’t come.
There’s a monster buried underneath my skin,
Feeding on the hurt that’s always lived within.
It stole every ounce of strength I had,
Turned every memory into something bad.
I’m reaching for a heartbeat I can’t even feel,
Searching for proof that I’m still real.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m drowning in the voices I can’t outrun,
Every battle lost before it’s even begun.
[Chorus – Explosive]
They’re screaming, “Give up!”
They’re screaming, “Give in!”
Every scar reminds me where I’ve been.
They call me weak, they call me unwanted,
Every breath feels cold and haunted.
But somewhere underneath the wreckage I remain,
Still fighting through the silence, still bleeding through the pain.
I won’t let the darkness write the end of me.
[Verse 2]
I was cursed with a heart that beats too loud,
Lost in a sea, invisible in the crowd.
I gave them everything until nothing remained,
Carried their burdens while I buried my pain.
Who do I run to when the world’s gone numb?
When every answer sounds like “You’re the only one”?
The river calls beneath a crimson sky,
As another sunset says goodbye.
[Bridge – Spoken / Rap]
One… two… counting every shattered dream.
Three… four… nothing’s ever what it seems.
Five… six… every voice inside my skull,
Seven… eight… telling me I’m never enough.
Nine… ten… standing on the edge again…
[Breakdown – Scream]
NO!
I’M NOT YOUR PRISON!
I’M NOT YOUR VICTIM!
YOU DON’T GET TO DECIDE WHO I AM!
[Final Chorus]
You screamed, “Give up!”
You screamed, “Give in!”
But I’m still here beneath my skin.
You called me weak, you called me unwanted,
Yet my heart keeps beating through the darkness.
If tomorrow’s only one more step to take,
Then I’ll crawl through hell before I break.
The night can pull me under—
But it won’t become my grave.
[Outro – Quiet]
I’m scared…
But fear doesn’t get the final word.
Not tonight.
