Shadows move when the lights go out
I see my fears start crawling out
Been baptized but I still bleed doubt
Still fighting that voice too loud
⸻
🖤 Verse 1 (moody, The Weeknd-style delivery)
I taste the poison I used to crave
Mirror talk, I don’t feel saved
Faith and fear both call my name
Cross on my neck, but I feel ashamed
Midnight prayers in a glass reflection
Halo cracked from my own obsession
Every sin I tried to hide
Still screams when I close my eyes
⸻
⚡️ Pre-Chorus (builds tension)
I’m tired of running in circles
Chained by the ghost in my head
But the blood still whispers mercy
When I thought that grace was dead
⸻
🔥 Chorus (anthemic, cinematic drums + synth bass)
There’s a war inside, I’m fighting the night
The devil knows my name but God gave me the light
I’ve been broken, I’ve been blind
But He won’t leave me behind
My scars are proof I survived
Yeah, there’s a war inside
⸻
🌑 Verse 2 (NF-style rap verse)
I don’t need fake peace, I want real scars healed
I’ve been wrestling my shadow, till my fate feels sealed
But I know who my Savior is—He’s still on that hill
With a crown of thorns, He said my name, I kneel
Thought I lost myself in the static and smoke
My heart was heavy like a suicide note
But I heard His voice—cut through the noise
Said, “Son, you’re still My choice.”
⸻
⚔️ Bridge (emotional breakdown, orchestral strings rise)
Angels sing in my nightmares now
Heaven’s calling, I don’t know how
But I won’t bow to my fears again
I’ve been washed by fire and rain
⸻
🌅 Final Chorus (bigger, victorious energy)
There’s a war inside, but I’m still alive
The devil tried to chain me but Christ broke the lie
I’ve been broken, I’ve been blind
But He still called me His child
My scars are proof I survived
Yeah, there’s a war inside
(echo) But love won the fight.
