Clawing Out of Shadows

Quiet shadows crawl underneath my skin

Silent battles I can't seem to win

Whispered doubts, they echo deep

In my mind, I can't escape these leaps

Fallen into familiar cracks, I crawl

Guilt's a chain I can't seem to break at all

Every mirror reflects a stranger's face

Lost in the wreckage, in this hollow space

Tried to drown the voices, silent scream

Fear's a mirror shattered by a dream

Holding on to what I can't contain

Fighting my reflection, feeling insane

Break these chains, I won't decay

Clawing through the night to break away

Burn the past, ignite my fate

Here's my war, I won't hesitate

Screaming loud, I stand, I fight

Shattering darkness with my light

No more falling, no retreat

This is my resolve, my defeat

Swallowed by errors I can't forgive

Searching for a reason to still give

Haunted by echoes of my guilt

Swimming in the shame I've built

But I refuse to be defined by fears

Rising up despite the tears

Refusing to back down, I ignite

A rebel heart prepared to fight

Break these chains, I won't decay

Clawing through the night to break away

Burn the past, ignite my fate

Here's my war, I won't hesitate

Screaming loud, I stand, I fight

Shattering darkness with my light

No more falling, no retreat

This is my resolve, my defeat

Raging storm inside me, break free

Fury growing, can't you see?

Razor tears, my battle cry

Won't surrender, I will defy

Victorious in the chaos I create

Rising from the wreckage, can't be tamed

With every scar, I claim my right

To stand unbroken in the light
