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.
