[Intro] Baby, you can cancel the exorcist Turns out the monster was living in my head this whole time [Verse 1] We don’t gotta run away or burn the whole house down tonight I finally locked myself inside the bathroom mirror and looked my demons in the eyes Every scar came crawling out the shadows Every memory started screaming my name And I swear the silence hit harder Than any thunderstorm or hurricane [Pre-Chorus] There was a version of me hanging by the shower Telling me I’d never change A thousand voices circling like vultures Feeding on the fear and shame [Chorus] I had to face the monster all by myself While the whole world kept moving like nothing was wrong Fighting every thought that wanted me gone Every regret, every wound I carried too long And maybe I looked fearless for a moment But truth is I was barely holding on Still I stood there Bruised but breathing And told my demons they don’t own me anymore [Verse 2] I swung my anger like a weapon Trying to kill the parts of me I hate But pain keeps growing new teeth Every time you try to bury it in rage The ceiling shook from all the chaos My chest felt ready to explode Cause healing ain’t a movie moment It’s surviving battles no one knows [Bridge] The beast inside me still got claws Still tries to drag me underneath Some nights it almost steals my soul Some nights it almost steals my sleep But I’m learning monsters lose their power When you finally say their name out loud And even if my hands are shaking I’m still standing here somehow [Outro] So if I call you late at midnight Just remind me I survived before Tell me shadows can’t possess me Tell me healing’s worth fighting for Cause I’m a warrior, not a ghost yet And I refuse to disappear The demons may still haunt the hallway But they don’t get to live here anymore
