Title: “Can’t Fight These Demons”

Title: “Can’t Fight These Demons” Verse 1 I light a smoke just to watch it fade, Same as the hope I threw away. Mirror’s cracked, but I still look in, Searching for the man I used to have within. Pre-Chorus I built these walls, now I’m buried inside— No one hears when the strong breaks and hides. Chorus I can’t fight these demons anymore, They know every lock, every goddamn door. Tore my prayers from a throat gone dry, Even angels don’t look me in the eye. Verse 2 Tried to drown ‘em out with blood and sound, Whiskey nights and fists to the ground. Every scar's a secret that I keep, While I’m screaming in silence, wide awake in my sleep. Pre-Chorus I made peace with the pain that I denied, But it’s feeding on the parts I tried to hide. Chorus I can’t fight these demons anymore, They know every lock, every goddamn door. Tore my prayers from a throat gone dry, Even angels don’t look me in the eye. Bridge (instrumental tension, maybe a whisper-to-roar vocal) Tell me— What’s left when the war was me? When the cage was home and the key was grief? No heroes here, just ghosts and sin… And I’m too far gone to let light in. Final Chorus I can’t fight these demons anymore, They’ve carved their names in my bedroom door. I’m a battlefield with no one to save, Just a man and the storm that he never braved. Outro (fading, slow acoustic or piano) I can’t fight… I can’t fight… These demons anymore…
