[Intro] Yeah… It’s been heavy lately… Feels like I’m fighting myself every single day… ⸻ [Verse 1] Wake up in the morning, feel the weight on my chest Dark clouds in my head, I can’t get any rest Mirror shows a stranger, don’t know who’s in the glass Tried to outrun my pain, but it’s catching up fast Been drowning in thoughts that I can’t explain Every smile I fake just to hide the pain People think I’m fine ‘cause I never complain But they don’t see the war that’s inside my brain Late nights, overthinking, mind won’t slow I’m stuck in the cycle, can’t let go Every step feels like I’m sinking low I’m my own worst enemy, and it shows ⸻ [Hook] (melodic, emotional) I’ve been stuck inside my head, can’t escape these chains Every day I’m losing grip, getting pulled by the rain Tried to light my way, but the dark still came Guess my mind’s in the shadows, and it won’t be tamed ⸻ [Verse 2] I’ve been counting my scars like they tell my story But the pain behind them never fades, don’t worry I’ve been fighting for a peace that I can’t afford Feeling like my soul’s just a broken sword Told myself a thousand times “it’ll be alright” But the lies get louder in the dead of night And the weight in my chest never seems to fade Guess I’m trapped in a storm that I can’t evade Friends say “man, you gotta look on the bright side” But the light in my life took a nosedive Every step’s like I’m walking on a landmine One wrong move and I’m flatlined ⸻ [Hook] (melodic, emotional) I’ve been stuck inside my head, can’t escape these chains Every day I’m losing grip, getting pulled by the rain Tried to light my way, but the dark still came Guess my mind’s in the shadows, and it won’t be tamed ⸻ [Bridge] (low voice, spoken or rap) I’m tired of running from the truth I know The scars don’t heal if you never show And I’ve been hiding for far too long But I’m still here, still holding on ⸻ [Outro Hook] I’ve been stuck inside my head, can’t escape these chains Every day I’m losing grip, getting pulled by the rain Tried to light my way, but the dark still came Guess my mind’s in the shadows, and it won’t be tamed
