[Verse 1] Woke up with my teeth all cracked Bit down on the panic, tasted glass Every mirror in my room talks back Says, “You’re not coming home from this” Pacing on a floor of pills Every color feels the same Thought I’d walk out stronger, built All I brought back was the shame [Pre-Chorus] I burned every bridge in my brain Just to feel the heat for a second Thought flames would forge me again But all I got was edges, jagged [Chorus] I fought a war inside my head Came back crawling, half‑undead Turned to steel inside the fire But the blade came out dull, tired I thought the smoke would make me rise But it only filled my eyes Now I’m choking on the proof instead I fought a war inside my head [Verse 2] Counting all my battle scars Same old numbers, new tattoos Every victory is marred By all the blood I had to lose Told ’em I was tempered, hard “Trust me, I can take the hit” But every time they light the spark I feel another piece un-knit [Pre-Chorus] I walked through the furnace laughing Swore pain would polish my soul Now every step’s glass cracking Underneath a hollow skull [Chorus] I fought a war inside my head Came back crawling, half‑undead Turned to steel inside the fire But the blade came out dull, tired I thought the smoke would make me rise But it only filled my eyes Now I’m choking on the proof instead I fought a war inside my head [Breakdown] [beat cuts, low bass pulse, distant synth bells] Whispers in my ribcage (don’t heal) Just echo, echo, echo Every time I stand up (I feel) Smaller than the shadow [half-time drums slam back in] Thought I’d walk out unafraid All I did was rot and fade Stripped my heart to bare the core Found nothing worth bleeding for (nothing) [Chorus] I fought a war inside my head Came back broken, thin as thread Threw myself into the fire Only fed a deeper tired I thought the smoke would make me rise But it only burned my eyes Now I’m living with the loss instead I fought a war inside my head

rap, Dark metal-trap hybrid with male vocals; verses ride on distorted 808s, jagged hi-hats, and cold synth leads, guitars lurking low in the mix. Chorus breaks into wide, melodic vocals over half-time drums and saturated power chords, with a dramatic breakdown that strips to sub bass, reverb-soaked bells, and tortured vocal layers before crashing back in., metal
