[Verse 1] My pain cuts deep, layer after layer Peel it back, I still hear the doomsayer Hands going cold, the night runs thin I feel him there underneath my skin Same face in the glass, same quiet war I keep opening wounds I can’t ignore [Pre-Chorus] I talk to God, my doubt talks over me I lock the door, he already got the key [Chorus] I’m shaking in my own skin Still fighting me, I can’t give in Same war, same face, I ain’t done yet I’m shaking in my own skin Even now, I won’t let him in [Verse 2] He wears my voice when I try to pray Turns “I’m still here” into “not today” Every promise I make, he tears it in two I throw the first punch, he already knew If I keep going down, I might forget what’s mine Just a voice that learned how to waste my time [Pre-Chorus] I asked for peace, he asked for more Now I’m the wound and the knife at the door [Chorus] I’m shaking in my own skin Still fighting me, I can’t give in Same war, same face, I ain’t done yet I’m shaking in my own skin Even now, I won’t let him in [Bridge] Don’t rush me Don’t rewrite this If I come apart, I still want a say in it I know his name I wear his face He will not be embraced [Final Chorus] I’m shaking in my own skin If I go under, I still won’t give in Cold in the chest, breaking from within I’m shaking in my own skin I don’t have to lose just to stop fighting me [Outro] Lights off Jaw tight I know he’s there Not tonight I’m shaking in my own skin
