[Haunting Acoustic Fingerstyle Intro]
[Clean guitar, slow tempo, minor key — distant reverb]
There is a pain, a pain inside of me.
Who knows what’s become of me?
Everywhere I look — it’s failure.
Sometimes I wish I could just give in.
[Verse 1 – slow drums build in]
I take a look around at all my failed attempts,
Seeing how I’ve wasted all my days.
I’m stuck in a dead-end job that don’t give a damn,
And I come home to a house full of pain.
[Chorus – distorted guitar kicks in]
I’m breaking down, can’t find the light,
Been fighting demons every night.
I try to stand, but I fall again,
A useless man in his own skin.
Can someone save me from this fight?
Or am I just lost to my own life?
[Guitar Solo / Instrumental Breakdown]
[Heavy but emotional — sustain notes, haunting melody]
[Bridge – half-time groove, emotional vocals]
So I wish I could see the light,
I’ve been feeling like the world’s own joke.
As my life just passes me by,
I wish I could still fight…
But my inner demons don’t wanna wait.
Ohhh oh ohhh… this is my fight.
Ohhh oh ohhh… this is my life.
[Post-Bridge – stripped back, vocals front and raw]
I’m sorry for the things I’ve done,
The words I said when I came undone.
I tried to change but I just break,
And every step’s another mistake.
I see my reflection — I don’t know that face.
I’m drowning slow in my own disgrace.
I scream for help, but no one hears,
Just the echo of my wasted years.
[Final Chorus – full band, powerful vocals]
I’m breaking down, can’t find the light,
Been fighting demons every night.
I try to stand, but I fall again,
A useless man in his own skin.
If there’s a God, I hope he sees,
What this world’s been doing to me.
Oh, I’m still standing through the pain —
But I’ll never be the same.
[Outro – acoustic fade, low voice / whisper]
There is a pain… a pain inside of me.
And I don’t know if I’ll ever be free.
