(Opening) Sometimes the hardest fight you’ll ever have… is the one inside your own head… (Heavy guitar hit) (Verse 1) There’s a storm underneath this skin A thousand wars I’ll never win Every scar still whispers names Every memory fans the flames I smile so nobody knows How close I’ve come to letting go These demons got my number memorized And they show up every night (Pre-Chorus) I’m sick of runnin from the truth Sick of drownin in the proof (Chorus) Back against the wall Swingin at shadows in the dark again One step from the edge Tryin not to let the devil in I can feel the pressure crackin through my soul Like a loaded gun I’m losin all control If I fall tonight At least I stood and fought through it all With my back against the wall (Verse 2) Bottle half empty by the sink Tryin not to think what I think Some days rage is all I know A wildfire burnin way below Every crossroads looks the same Different roads but equal pain And I can’t tell if I’m breakin free Or becoming what I hate in me (Pre-Chorus) No savior comin through that door So I don’t kneel anymore (Chorus) Back against the wall Bleedin but I’m still standin somehow Every punch life threw Only taught me how to hit back now I can hear the anger screamin in my veins Like thunder rattlin around inside my brain If this hell’s all mine Then I’ll survive it or I’ll crawl With my back against the wall (Breakdown half-time, brutal guitar groove) You ever get so tired… That anger starts feelin safer than hope? (Silence drop) (Bridge – emotional rise) Maybe I’m not lookin for salvation Maybe I just wanna feel alive Maybe every monster that I’m fightin Has been wearin my face this whole damn time (Build – drums intensify) (Final Chorus – explosive and cathartic) Back against the wall! Still breathin in the smoke and tension! Still standin through the wreckage and destruction! I may bend but I won’t break at all! Every scar became a lesson carved in stone Every dark road somehow led me home And if I die tonight At least they’ll say I gave my all With my back against the wall! (Outro – distorted fading guitar) Yeah… Still fightin… Still here…
