Mind in the Shadows

Yeah…

It’s been heavy lately…

Feels like I’m fighting myself every single day…

⸻

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

⸻

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

⸻

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
