PERSIST (Rework'd)

[Intro] [Verse 1] I move through shadows no one sees, A silent war inside, I bleed. Every breath a blade emotions strict, Each corner hides a conflict thick. A heavy night presses down on me, Voices haunt every step I take, The ground collapses beneath my feet, I sink within what’s left of me. [Verse 2] Voices whisper, taunt and tear Chasing ghosts that aren’t really there. Threads of shadow coil my soul Fighting battles that no one’s share. Eyes wide open, searching for the light Drowning slowly in the rain. Heartbeats racing, nerves ignite Trapped in darkness, losing light. [Pre-Chorus] I crawl through shadows, face the fight Night surrounds me, yet I won't hide! [Chorus] I rise through ashes, though the pain is real, I grasp for something only I can feel. The darkness tempts to pull me deep I fight the tide that threatens sleep. I carve a path where none exist I claim my voice, I will persist! [Verse 3] Steel and fire in every strike, The night devours what’s left of light. I scream at shadows, no one replies, A lonely echo beneath black skies. Shadows twist in the corners near, Every whisper confirms my fear. Falling faster, no end in sight, Clinging to fragments of fading might. [Pre-Chorus] I crawl through shadows, face the fight Night surrounds me, yet I won't hide. [Chorus] I rise through ashes, though the pain is real I grasp for something only I can feel. The darkness tempts to pull me deep I fight the tide that threatens sleep. I carve a path where none exist I claim my voice, I will Persist! [Breakdown] AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! [Pre-Chorus] Tremors shake the courage in my chest I face the night without a rest. Drowning in thoughts I can't confine I search for calm I may never find! [Final Chorus] I rise through ashes, though the pain is real, I grasp for something only I can feel. The darkness tempts to pull me deep, I fight the tide that threatens sleep. I carve a path where none exist, I claim my voice, I will persist. [End]
