Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Every scar tells a tale Of a ship that barely sailed Every wound beneath my skin Is a war I couldn’t win Every shadow in my mind Leaves another mark behind Every battle that I lost Left a memory of the cost ⸻ Verse 2 People say to let it go But they never really know What it’s like to fight a mind That leaves your soul behind Every smile hides the truth Of the damage from my youth Every silence in the night Turns my thoughts into a fight ⸻ Chorus Shadows in my skin remain Every scar a trace of pain Every ghost I carry still Reminds me of the battles ill Shadows in my skin tonight Still surviving every fight Even when the darkness wins I’m still breathing deep within ⸻ Verse 3 Every mirror tells a lie About the man I try to hide Every reflection that I see Shows the weight inside of me Memories like faded ink Push me closer to the brink Every step I try to take Feels like walking on a quake ⸻ Pre-Chorus Maybe scars were meant to stay Just to guide us on the way ⸻ Chorus Shadows in my skin still crawl Every rise before the fall Every scar reminds me when I survived the storm again Shadows in my skin remain But they no longer rule my pain Even when the night begins I won’t drown within my skin ⸻ Bridge (heavy emotional breakdown) Broken pieces form the man Learning how to stand again Every crack along the way Let a little sunlight stay Maybe darkness had to win Just to show the strength within ⸻ Breakdown (quiet moment) The war may live beneath my skin But it doesn’t mean I can’t win Every breath is proof again I’m still standing in the end ⸻ Final Chorus (big emotional ending) Shadows in my skin may stay But they won’t steal my day Every scar that once was pain Now reminds me I remain Shadows in my skin still fade Every choice that I have made Every step that I begin Is stronger than the past within ⸻ Outro The shadows whisper soft and thin But they no longer pull me in The scars may stay where they have been But I’m more than the skin I’m in.
