[Verse 1] Alarm rings out into the gray, Another dawn to push away. The weight sits heavy on my chest, A body tired, a mind unblest. I put the armor on my skin, And hide the fracture from within. Step out the door into the light, And act like everything is right. [Verse 2] The world moves at a fever pace, While I am frozen in this space. I speak the words I ought to say, And dodge the shadows in my way. They see the shield, they see the stride, Not the collision deep inside. For those who need me strong and whole, I guard the wreckage of my soul. [Pre-Chorus] The fog rolls in, the air grows thin, Where does the outer world begin? The silent storm begins to rage, A restless spirit in a cage. [Chorus] This is the war they never see, The quiet fight inside of me! I carry mountains in the dark, To keep alive a single spark. I break, I mend, I bleed, I rise, With heavy heart and open eyes. I am still standing in the rain, And forging armor from the pain! [Bridge] They call it weakness when you fall, When you can barely speak at all. But staying upright through the night, Is bravery without the light. I don't need miracles or grace, Just room to breathe inside this space. One single step, then one step more, Until my hand can reach the door. [Chorus] This is the war they never see, The quiet fight inside of me! I carry mountains in the dark, to keep alive a single spark. I break, I mend, I bleed, I rise, With heavy heart and open eyes. I am still standing in the rain, And forging armor from the pain! [Outro] The storm clears out, the voices cease, A fragile moment made of peace. Another chapter in the book, One final breath, one forward look.
