Verse 1
There’s a stranger in my bedroom,
But she’s wearing my face.
She knows every single weakness,
Every fear I try to erase.
She whispers in the quiet,
When the world is finally still.
Turns a harmless little thought
Into something I have to kill.
I know it’s just a sentence,
I know it’s just a fear.
But my brain keeps pulling me back,
Saying “what if?” in my ear.
I search for an answer,
Something that will make it stop.
But every time I find relief,
Another question takes its spot.
Pre-Chorus
And I hate that I know the pattern,
I hate that I know the game.
I can see the trap in front of me,
But I still run there the same.
Chorus
It’s a hostile takeover,
My own mind against my soul.
A thousand little battles
That nobody else knows.
I’m screaming in silence,
Trying to find the door.
Fighting thoughts I never wanted
But somehow can’t ignore.
I am not my fear,
I am not what my mind creates.
But sometimes it feels like my own brain
Is the thing I have to escape.
Verse 2
I’ve spent nights looking for certainty,
For something I can prove.
Trying to convince myself
Of things I already knew.
I ask the same questions
Until the words lose their meaning.
Chasing after comfort
That disappears when I’m breathing.
People see me smiling,
They see me going on.
They don’t see the war happening
From midnight until dawn.
They don’t see the moments
Where I’m fighting with my head.
Trying to separate reality
From every thought it said.
Pre-Chorus
I wish I could explain it,
Without sounding insane.
That the thing I’m most afraid of
Is my own brain.
Chorus
It’s a hostile takeover,
My own mind against my soul.
A thousand little battles
That nobody else knows.
I’m searching for an exit,
I’m trying to let go.
But the harder I fight the thoughts,
The louder that they grow.
I am not my fear,
I am not my darkest days.
I’m the person underneath it all
Trying to find my way.
Bridge
Maybe I don’t need an answer
For every single thing.
Maybe I don’t need my mind
To promise I’m safe before I breathe.
Maybe thoughts are just thoughts,
Maybe feelings aren’t facts.
Maybe I can let them knock
Without opening the door back.
Final Chorus
It’s a hostile takeover,
But I’m taking back my name.
I won’t let every whisper
Make me feel ashamed.
My mind can make a storm,
My mind can make it loud.
But I’m still standing underneath it,
And I’m still here now.
I am not my fear.
I am not my mind’s attack.
I’m the person who survived it…
And I’m finding my way back.
Outro
The thoughts are loud.
But I am louder.
