Demons of the past (original)

[Intro]8

I’m fightin' demons of the past,

They're whisperin' lies, but I’m holdin' fast

They may haunt me, but they won’t last

I’m breakin’ chains, I’m free at last

Fighting demons of the past,

I’ll find my peace, I’ll make it last

Ain’t no darkness, gonna keep me down

I’m ridin’ high, I’m turnin' it around

Verse 1:

I woke up this mornin’, feelin’ heavy on my chest

Tried to shake the shadows, but they won’t let me rest

The ghosts of yesterday, they keep comin' back

Tearin’ down the walls, tryin’ to break my track

Pre-Chorus:

But I won’t let them win, no, I’m standin' tall

Gonna fight these demons, 'fore they make me fall

Chorus:

I’m fightin' demons of the past,

They're whisperin' lies, but I’m holdin' fast

They may haunt me, but they won’t last

I’m breakin’ chains, I’m free at last

Fighting demons of the past,

I’ll find my peace, I’ll make it last

Ain’t no darkness, gonna keep me down

I’m ridin’ high, I’m turnin' it around

Verse 2:

I’ve been down this road, and it’s been long and cold

Every step I take, I’m carryin’ the weight of old

But the hurt and the pain, they can’t define me no more

I’m lookin' forward now, won’t be haunted by that door

Pre-Chorus:

I’ll stand my ground, no I won’t be moved

I’ve been broken, but now I’ve been soothed

Chorus:

I’m fightin' demons of the past,

They're whisperin' lies, but I’m holdin' fast

They may haunt me, but they won’t last

I’m breakin’ chains, I’m free at last

Fighting demons of the past,

I’ll find my peace, I’ll make it last

Ain’t no darkness, gonna keep me down

I’m ridin’ high, I’m turnin' it around

Bridge:

They tried to steal my soul, tried to take my mind,

But I found the light, now I’m gonna shine

You won’t hold me back, no more chains to bind,

I’m walkin’ tall, leavin’ it all behind

Chorus:

I’m fightin' demons of the past,

They're whisperin' lies, but I’m holdin' fast

They may haunt me, but they won’t last

I’m breakin’ chains, I’m free at last

Fighting demons of the past,

I’ll find my peace, I’ll make it last

Ain’t no darkness, gonna keep me down

I’m ridin’ high, I’m turnin' it around

Outro:

Yeah, I’m turnin' it around,

Gonna rise above, no more lookin' down.
