Shadow work

[Verse 1] I spent my whole life carrying ghosts Dragging chains nobody else could hold Built out of bruises, silence, and shame Trying to survive while forgetting my name Every scar had a story to tell Every wound was another trip through hell I let the pain live deep in my chest Like suffering was all I had left I learned to read the room before I walked inside Keep my head down, keep the hurt disguised Built walls so high nobody could climb in Then blamed the world for leaving me trapped in them [Pre-Chorus] But I’m done Letting old wounds decide who I become Done dragging the dead weight of everything I’ve survived [Chorus] I will find myself in the wreckage In the ashes, in the smoke In the pieces they left shattered In the parts they thought were broke I’m breaking down these walls around me I’m facing every mirror, every shadow I know I won’t let the darkness own me I won’t drown in what I know I’ve been torn apart by too much But I’m still here And I won’t let go [Verse 2] There were nights I hated the man in the mirror Because all I could see was the damage clearer Every mistake, every scar, every lie Every time I had to bury how I felt inside I spent years fighting demons with my bare hands Trying to outrun pain I didn’t understand But shadows only grow when you never turn around So I’m standing face to face with everything now Pain ain’t the only thing living in me There’s still a fire underneath all this grief Still a heartbeat underneath all this weight Still a man trying to heal before it’s too late [Pre-Chorus] Because survival was never supposed to be The only thing I knew how to do Maybe now I get to live too [Chorus] I will find myself in the wreckage In the ashes, in the smoke In the pieces they left shattered In the parts they thought were broke I’m breaking down these walls around me I’m facing every mirror, every shadow I know I won’t let the darkness own me I won’t drown in what I know I’ve been torn apart by too much But I’m still here And I won’t let go [Bridge] I can feel the weight lifting I can feel the chains break loose I can finally hear my own voice Underneath all the noise I’m breaking every wall I built Brick by brick, stone by stone And when I face the man inside the mirror I know I won’t be alone Maybe I was never weak Maybe I was just carrying too much alone Maybe healing is finally learning I don’t have to keep surviving every day like it’s war [Final Chorus] I will find myself in the wreckage I will stand inside the flame And when I look into the mirror I won’t hate what I became Because the darkness didn’t kill me And the pain didn’t take my soul It only taught me how to fight For the man I’m becoming now I’m breaking down these walls around me I’m facing every shadow I know I will find myself in the wreckage And this time I’m bringing myself home
