[Verse] Every mile’s another memory I can’t outrun, Empty chairs still haunt me when the day is done. Friends turned strangers, blood that slipped away, Promises like smoke that never chose to stay. Every scar’s another name I can’t erase, Every lie still wears a familiar face. [Pre-Chorus] I buried every broken piece beneath my skin, Smiled while the war kept raging deep within. Kept my silence, swallowed every scream, Now the cracks are splitting every dream. [Chorus] This is the dark side of me, Born from every memory. Betrayed by love, betrayed by trust, Turned my heart into iron and dust. I’ve held it in for far too long, Pretending I was always strong. Now the fire won’t stay confined, The storm has finally crossed the line. [Verse 2] Family fading like the sunset in my eyes, Another goodbye wrapped inside another lie. Every handshake hid another sharpened blade, Every hope became another debt I paid. Built these walls from everything I couldn’t say, Now they’re crashing down anyway. [Build] Can you hear it? Every heartbeat hits like thunder. Every secret pulls me under. Every tear became gasoline. Every scar fed the machine. No more hiding. No more chains. No more drowning in the pain. [Final Chorus] (Slow Energetic) This is the dark side of me, The man they never got to see. Every loss became my weight, Every lie rewrote my fate. I tried to carry all alone, Built a prison from cold stone. If I break beneath this sky, Know I fought until I couldn’t hide. This is the dark side… The dark side of me.
