(Spoken Intro) It’s like... a slow burn... The kind of fire that starts in the quietest places... The kind you don't even see coming... Just feel... (Verse 1) Woke up in the rhythm of a beat I didn't know... Moving through the motions, just letting the currents flow... Demons had a lock on my mind, a key to my soul, They promised me comfort, but took a serious toll... Now I'm grabbing the moment, with a brand new grip, Ready for the journey, I'm not gonna slip... Every breath is a victory... every step is a win, And that devil's not welcome... no longer within (within)... (Chorus) I gave you all I had to give (to give) No matter what they said... I let you win (you win) I knew that was no way to live (to live) So I told that devil to take you back, yeah (take you back) I told that devil to take you back (take you back...) (Verse 2) I remember a past... a ghost I can't shake, That tried to drown me in a cold, lonely lake... The whispers still echo... a sinister sound, Told me I'd never get up from the ground... But I found a new strength, a new kind of power, Climbing from the ruins, in a desperate hour... I'm not looking for comfort... just looking for peace, Just fighting my demons... down on my knees... (Chorus) I gave you all I had to give (to give) No matter what they said... I let you win (you win) I knew that was no way to live (to live) So I told that devil to take you back, yeah (take you back) I told that devil to take you back (take you back...) (Verse 3) I used to give it all away... didn't leave a single piece, Just to get a moment of ease... But the contract was broken... the deal was undone, And the war I'm now fighting... is a war that I've won... This ain't for a blessing... not here for a crowd, Just here for the truth... and I'm screaming it loud... Every word's a punch... every line is a blow, To the ghost of the past... that refused to let go (let go)... (Chorus) I gave you all I had to give (to give) No matter what they said... I let you win (you win) I knew that was no way to live (to live) So I told that devil to take you back, yeah (take you back) I told that devil to take you back (take you back...) (Bridge) I had to face the monster... the one in my head, The lies that it told... the words that it said... It promised me nothing... a dark empty room, Said "this is your life... this is your final tomb..." But a new power rising... where the old one was dead, I'm ripping up that script... and writing a new one instead... Every step is a victory... every breath is a win, And that devil's not welcome... no longer within... (Verse 4) I'm looking at my future... seeing the light and the way, No more running from yesterday... I'm taking back power... taking back control, I'll save this vessel... I'll save my own soul... This ain't for the music... ain't for the fame, Just fighting my demons... playing my own game... And when I get tired... I just look at the sun, And know that my battle... is a battle I've won... (Chorus) I gave you all I had to give (to give) No matter what they said... I let you win (you win) I knew that was no way to live (to live) So I told that devil to take you back, yeah (take you back) I told that devil to take you back (take you back...) (Verse 5) The past is a memory... a story I'll tell, About the time my mind was my personal hell... The fear and the sorrow... a storm in my head, Just a ghost of a life that I thought was dead... But a new road is open... a new path is clear, And I'm leaving that devil behind... with all of my fear... I'm walking with purpose... with a fire in my soul, Making sure that my story... is a story I control... (Chorus) I gave you all I had to give (to give) No matter what they said... I let you win (you win) I knew that was no way to live (to live) So I told that devil to take you back, yeah (take you back) I told that devil to take you back (take you back...) (Outro) Just like that... Gone... Never coming back... The only thing left is me...
