Yo I'm staring at the mirror but the face ain't mine
Eyes hollow like a ghost forgot to resign
The weight of the world's in my chest can't breathe
Every thought's a grenade pin pulled-I'm the debris
They say "Snap out of it" like it's a choice I can make
But the darkness ain't a room-it's a ocean I can't escape
I wear a smile like a mask but it's cracking at the seams
Behind it there's a war zone and I'm the casualty of dreams
Shadows in the mirror they whisper my name
Telling me I'm broken that I'm the one to blame
I'm fighting for the light but it's fading in the distance
*This battle's in my mind-I'm my own worst opposition
Anxiety's a loop replaying every mistake
Trauma's a tattoo-ink deep it won't erase
I'm drowning in the silence but the noise is too loud
Every "what if" is a hammer every doubt's a shroud
I medicate with music but the lyrics cut deep
Every verse is a wound every hook's a sleepless sleep
I'm chasing peace like it's a high I can't sustain
But the demons in my brain keep rewiring the pain
They say "Time heals all" but time's a liar
It just stretches the scars sets the past on fire
I'm tired of the fight but I can't let it win
*So I scream at the shadows-let the battle begin
Shadows in the mirror they whisper my name
Telling me I'm broken that I'm the one to blame
I'm fighting for the light but it's fading in the distance
*This battle's in my mind-I'm my own worst opposition
I'm learning to live with the cracks in my soul
To find beauty in the broken to make the pain whole
The shadows still linger but I'm starting to see-
*The fight's not for perfection-it's to set myself free
