(Verse 1)
Yo, I’m standin’ in the shadows of my past,
Broken mirrors reflect a life that didn’t last,
Old me’s a ghost, haunted by mistakes,
Heavy is the burden, every dawn it aches.
Chains of regret, they weigh me down,
Lost in the darkness, I drown in my frown,
Thought I was strong, but I was just pretendin’,
Now I see clear, it’s time for the endin’.
(Chorus)
Enough of this pain, I’m breakin’ free,
From the weight of my past, no more misery,
Rising from the ashes, I reclaim my soul,
This is my fight, I’m takin’ control.
(Verse 2)
Been through the storm, felt the cold inside,
Every tear I’ve cried, I’ve disguised my pride,
My old self was a wall I built so high,
Now I’m shatterin’ it, no more lie.
Life’s been a battle, I’ve seen hell’s face,
Lost in the chaos, I couldn’t keep pace,
But now I’m done with the tears and the blame,
I’m risin’ up, reborn, no more shame.
(Chorus)
Enough of this pain, I’m breakin’ free,
From the weight of my past, no more misery,
Rising from the ashes, I reclaim my soul,
This is my fight, I’m takin’ control.
(Bridge)
It’s a heavy load, but I carry it no more,
Fightin’ through the darkness, I’m settin’ the score,
No more chains, no more disguise,
I’m battlin’ my demons with fire in my eyes.
(Outro)
So hear my cry, I’ve had enough,
Risin’ from the ashes, strong and tough,
Old self’s in the past, I’ve let go,
Now I forge my path, let the whole world know.
