[Verse 1]
I wake up drowning in the dawn,
The sunlight cuts, the warmth feels wrong.
A thousand thoughts, a thousand chains,
Each one whispers through my veins.
I wear my smile like borrowed light,
Pretend I’m whole when I lose the fight.
No one hears the quiet scream,
That hums beneath my every dream.
[Chorus]
I’m fighting wars beneath my skin,
Where silent storms and ghosts begin.
I wear this calm so none will see,
The dark that still devours me.
I’m hanging by a fragile thread,
Haunted by the words unsaid.
I’ve lost, I’ve bled, I’ve learned, I’ve sinned—
Still I rise from beneath my skin.
[Verse 2]
My thoughts are wolves I can’t outrun,
They chase the moon, they fear the sun.
My heart’s a cage, my breath’s a flame,
I call for help but choke my name.
They say “you’re fine,” they turn away,
But I keep fighting night and day.
In shadows deep, I find my ground,
Where pain and hope are tightly bound.
[Chorus]
I’m fighting wars beneath my skin,
Where silent storms and ghosts begin.
I wear this calm so none will see,
The dark that still devours me.
I’m hanging by a fragile thread,
Haunted by the words unsaid.
I’ve lost, I’ve bled, I’ve learned, I’ve sinned—
Still I rise from beneath my skin.
[Bridge]
There’s beauty where the fractures gleam,
A pulse that burns through broken dreams.
If I collapse, I’ll still ignite,
The night can’t kill a soul that fights.
[Final Chorus]
I’m fighting wars beneath my skin,
And though I break, I breathe again.
I wear my scars for all to see,
The proof that there’s still fire in me.
I’m holding on — I won’t give in,
Through every loss, through every sin.
The dark may burn, but I’ll still grin—
I am more than what’s beneath my skin.
