[Intro] There's a place inside me That I've never shown A room without a doorway A kingdom with no throne I've spent so long running From the silence in my head But maybe the darkness Was never something to dread [Verse 1] I see the faces of the people I used to be Every dream I abandoned Every version of me They don't disappear They don't fade away They become the pieces That carried me here today I've tried to bury every failure I've tried to hide every scar But the deeper that I ran The closer I came to who we are [Pre-Chorus] So let the shadows speak Let them tell me what they know I've spent my whole life fighting Something that was never my foe [Chorus] There's a void within me But it doesn't scare me anymore It's where I found the pieces I was searching for I won't run from the darkness I won't turn away Because even in the emptiness I found a reason to stay There's a void within me And now I call it home [Verse 2] I used to think that being broken Meant I couldn't be repaired That every crack would prove forever That nobody really cared But cracks can let the light in And scars can tell the truth Sometimes becoming who you are Means letting go of who you knew [Pre-Chorus] So let the shadows rise Let them gather at my feet I've spent too long pretending That darkness made me weak [Chorus] There's a void within me But it doesn't scare me anymore It's where I found the pieces I was searching for I won't run from the darkness I won't turn away Because even in the emptiness I found a reason to stay There's a void within me And now I call it home [Bridge] I am not the fear I am not the pain I am not the nights I thought I'd never escape I am every scar I am every flame I am every time I stood up again So let the darkness come Let it surround me It doesn't own me It never defined me [Breakdown] I looked into the void... And the void looked back. But this time... I didn't look away. [Final Chorus] THERE'S A VOID WITHIN ME BUT I'M NOT AFRAID I'VE WALKED THROUGH THE DARKNESS AND I'M STILL HERE TODAY I WON'T RUN FROM THE SHADOWS I WON'T HIDE FROM THE FLAME THE DARKNESS IS PART OF ME BUT IT DOESN'T KNOW MY NAME THERE'S A VOID WITHIN ME AND I'VE MADE IT MY OWN I TURNED ALL THE SILENCE INTO SOMETHING I'VE KNOWN I AM NOT EMPTY I AM NOT LOST I AM EVERYTHING THAT SURVIVED THE COST [Outro] So let the night come. Let the silence fall. I've already met the darkness. And it wasn't the end after all. There's a void within me... But now... I know what lives inside.
