The War Within

I'm drowning in silence, choking on air
My reflection's a stranger, I'm no longer there
These bones are so heavy, this skin doesn't fit
I'm lost in the darkness, too tired to quit

My mind's full of shadows, my heart's full of scars
The world's moving forward, but I'm stuck in the dark
I'm screaming in silence, I'm crying for help
But the person I need most is my broken self

But somewhere inside me, a voice whispers "fight"
Through tears and through troubles, I reach for the light
Each breath is a battle, each day is a war
But I won't let this darkness, define me no more

I'm clawing my way up from rock bottom's floor
Each step is a triumph, though my feet are sore
The light's getting brighter, I can feel the warmth
From ashes of who I was, I'm no longer torn

Now I stand in the sunlight, face turned to the sky
The shadows still linger, but they're fading with time
I've weathered the tempest, I've conquered my fears
Through stormy seas sailed, my minds finally cleared

But somewhere inside me, a voice whispers "fight"
Through tears and through troubles, I reach for the light
Each breath is a battle, each day is a war
But I won't let this darkness, define me no more

But somewhere inside me, a voice whispers "fight"
Through tears and through troubles, I reach for the light
Each breath is a battle, each day is a war
But I won't let this darkness, define me no more

But somewhere inside me, a voice whispered "fight"
Through tears and through troubles, I reached for the light
Each breath was a battle, each day was a war
But I won't let this darkness, consume me no more
