DullBlah(Up-tempo, driving drum b**t and distorted guitar riff k**k in)
(Verse 1)
Woke up this morning with the same old ache inside
A hollow space where the light used to hide
A whispered voice tells me I'm not good enough
Says I'm a failure, a diamond in the rough
(Pre-Chorus)
It's a shadow I've been running from for years
A collection of my doubts and all my fears
It wears my face, it knows my name
It wants to drag me down and play its little game
(Chorus)
Gonna face my demons, look 'em in the eye
No more running, no more lies
This ain't a w*r I'm fighting on my own
Gonna stand my ground on this broken throne
Yeah, I'm facing my demons, gonna make 'em bleed
Rip 'em out by the roots like a poisonous weed
This is my f***t, and I'm not giving in
'Cause the battle for my soul is a w*r I'm gonna win
(Guitar Solo)
(Fast, melodic, and aggressive solo with lots of bends and feedback)
(Verse 2)
Every mirror shows a stranger staring back
A twisted version of a soul that's lost its track
The weight of judgment, a heavy, crushing stone
Makes it hard to breathe and even harder to be known
(Pre-Chorus)
It's a shadow I've been running from for years
A collection of my doubts and all my fears
It wears my face, it knows my name
It wants to drag me down and play its little game
(Chorus)
Gonna face my demons, look 'em in the eye
No more running, no more lies
This ain't a w*r I'm fighting on my own
Gonna stand my ground on this broken throne
Yeah, I'm facing my demons, gonna make 'em bleed
Rip 'em out by the roots like a poisonous weed
This is my f***t, and I'm not giving in
'Cause the battle for my soul is a w*r I'm gonna win
(Bridge)
They tell me I'm broken, shattered and weak
But there's a fire in my heart, a truth I have to speak
I'll find my courage in the darkness and the pain
Wash away the wreckage in the pouring rain
I'm not the sum of every mistake I've made
I'm the hero of a story that's still being played
(Guitar Solo)
(A more emotional and slower solo builds in intensity)
(Outro)
Face... your demons...
(Drum and guitar slow down to a powerful, final chord)
I'm not giving in...
(Feedback from the guitar fades out)
I'm not giving up...
(Distant, ringing sound of a single, final note)
I will win.
(Silence)
