Verse 1 Nine to five was never true It bled through nights, it stole it too I thought the climb was up to stay But last year hit and ripped away Now I feel I’m losing pace Reality screams in my face Your voice gets lost inside my head Every word replaced with dread Chorus The Struggle is silence, no sound Just the pounding that drags me down The Struggle is begging to stop But you hold me, I don’t drop Verse 2 I push too hard, I never slow My body breaks but I don’t know I’m falling fast, don’t know what’s true Then you pull me back, it’s you These battles cut and tear apart But your light breaks into my heart Chorus The Struggle is silence, no sound Just the pounding that drags me down The Struggle is begging to stop But you hold me, I don’t drop Bridge It’s not all dark, I’m not alone Some fight worse, pain they’ve known Dreams not met, I’m far away But I have you, that’s enough today Chorus (big & layered) The Struggle is silence, no sound Just the pounding that drags me down The Struggle is begging to stop But you hold me, I don’t drop Outro I’m loyal to all but never to me My body, my spirit, I let them bleed I’ll give it time, I’ll learn the rest Keep going, keep fighting—this is the test The Struggle is where greatness comes from
