Don’t Let The Evil Inside You Win

[Verse 1]
I see the way you fake that smile
Say "I’m fine" and change the subject
Brushing every heavy thought aside
Till you can barely hold your breath
You’re staring at the bedroom ceiling
Clock hands crawling
Heart in doubt
But there’s a hand here in the dark
Waiting for you to call out
[Chorus]
Don’t let the evil inside you win
Don’t let that light in your chest burn dim
There’s always time
Always time for help
You don’t have to fight this by yourself
You are worthy
You’re still in this round
Don’t let the illness drag you down
Don’t let the evil inside you win
You’re still here
That’s where hope begins
[Verse 2]
Thoughts can lie
They talk in circles
Tell you that you’re better gone
But every name in your old phone
Would miss you if you weren’t on
So write it down or make that call
Say "I’m not okay right now" (yeah)
It isn’t weak to need a shoulder
It’s brave to finally say it out loud
[Chorus]
Don’t let the evil inside you win
Don’t let that light in your chest burn dim
There’s always time
Always time for help
You don’t have to fight this by yourself
You are worthy
You’re still in this round
Don’t let the illness drag you down
Don’t let the evil inside you win
You’re still here
That’s where hope begins
[Bridge]
Every scar you hide
Every tear you’ve drowned
Is proof you’ve stayed alive
Through every brutal round
So breathe in slow
Count to ten
Open the door
Let someone in (oh)
[Chorus]
Don’t let the evil inside you win
Don’t let that light in your chest burn dim
There’s always time
Always time for help
You don’t have to fight this by yourself
You are worthy
You’re still in this round
Don’t let the illness drag you down
Don’t let the evil inside you win
Hold my hand
We’ll learn to live again

Uplifting pop ballad with warm piano and spacious pads, building into a mid-tempo anthem with steady drums and soaring male/female vocal harmonies; verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, chorus explodes with layered chants and a bright, hopeful top line; subtle guitar swells and tom fills push the final chorus higher for a cathartic singalong, light
