[Verse 1]
Same room
Same ceiling crack
I trace it like a roadmap
To everywhere I lack
Phone lit
But I’m ghosting calls
Got my back to the bright world
Face pressed to the wall
I been talking to the mirror like
“Who you tryna fool?”
You dressed the hurt in designer
Still feel broken and bruised
Yeah, I smile in the pictures
But the crop hides the truth
Every like, every heart
Just a bandage on a bruise
[Chorus]
I’ve been fighting my demons
In the dark where they can’t be seen
They keep pulling me deeper
But I swear they won’t bury me
I’ve been talking to Jesus
Like “Can you still believe in me?”
If my hands start shaking
I’ll still hold on to what I dream
Fighting my demons
Fighting my demons (yeah)
Fighting my demons
Till they stop fighting me
[Verse 2]
Late night
My thoughts run laps
Every “what if”
Every “can’t go back”
Pop pills?
Nah, I pen these lines
Tryna bleed out the poison
One bar at a time
Mama callin’ like “baby
You been sleeping at all?”
I say “yeah I’m fine”
But my chest says “nah”
I got friends in the group chat
All typing “you good?”
I leave ‘em stuck on delivered
‘Cause I don’t know if I should
[Chorus]
I’ve been fighting my demons
In the dark where they can’t be seen
They keep pulling me deeper
But I swear they won’t bury me
I’ve been talking to Jesus
Like “Can you still believe in me?”
If my hands start shaking
I’ll still hold on to what I dream
Fighting my demons
Fighting my demons (oh, yeah)
Fighting my demons
Till they stop fighting me
[Bridge]
Scars on my soul
But they spell out my name
Every tear that I swallowed
Turned to fuel for the flame
If I fall, if I crawl
I’m still headed the same way
I’m afraid, but I stay
‘Cause I’m tired of the shame
[Chorus]
I’ve been fighting my demons
In the dark where they can’t be seen
They keep pulling me deeper
But I swear they won’t bury me
I’ve been talking to Jesus
Like “Can you still believe in me?”
If my voice starts breaking
I’ll still sing like I’m finally free
Fighting my demons
Fighting my demons (yeah, yeah)
Fighting my demons
Till they stop fighting me
