Battles and demons

Chorus]

I got these demons on my shoulder, weight I can’t unload,

Running from the darkness, I been losing all control,

Heart cold, scars deep, but I still feel the fire,

Tryna climb out of the ashes, higher and higher.

I been down on my luck, tryna find a way out,

But every time I get close, it’s like the lights fade out,

These thoughts in my mind, yeah, they eating me alive,

Telling me it’s over, I can barely survive.

I remember cold nights with nobody to call,

Loyalty’s a price, some don’t pay it at all,

Friends turn foes, and the pain runs deep,

But I’m a soldier, yeah, I’m fighting while they sleep.

Pour out the pain, watch it drown in the glass,

Living too fast, but I’m haunted by the past,

They say it gets better, but they don’t know the cost,

Can’t look in the mirror, only see what I lost.

I got these demons on my shoulder, weight I can’t unload,

Running from the darkness, I been losing all control,

Heart cold, scars deep, but I still feel the fire,

Tryna climb out of the ashes, higher and higher.

I see the fake love, don’t need it in my life,

Loyalty’s rare, like a cut from a knife,

People come around when they see that you up,

But where were they when I was stuck in the mud?

All these missed calls when I’m doing alright,

But when I’m down bad, they don’t answer at night,

Learned to hold my own, just me and my pride,

Fighting these battles that I feel inside.

Yeah, I’m numb to the pain, can’t feel what’s real,

Lost a lot of love that I wish I could heal,

But through the struggle, yeah, I know I’m alive,

Gotta keep pushing, just tryna survive.

I got these demons on my shoulder, weight I can’t unload,

Running from the darkness, I been losing all control,

Heart cold, scars deep, but I still feel the fire,

Tryna climb out of the ashes, higher and higher.

So here’s to the nights that almost took me out,

And to the voices that made me wanna doubt,

I’m still standing, yeah, I’m ready for the fight,

With my head held high, I’ll step into the light.
