Song of the Soulless - Against Myself

Against Myself...
There is a battle within that no one can see-a silent war against fears, doubts, and the whispers of demons lurking in the shadows. The hardest fight is not to escape our darkness, but to face it. Yet perhaps, in embracing it, we finally become whole.
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
In the mirror, shadows rise,
A face I know, but with foreign eyes.
Whispers of doubt, echoes of fear,
Pulling me deeper, drawing me near.
A battlefield beneath my skin,
A war I fight but cannot win.
The night inside me starts to fall,
I hear the darkness call.
I feel the weight of broken dreams,
The silent cries, the muted screams.
Through every tear and every scar,
I search for who we are.
Chorus:
Against myself, I stand and fight,
In the depths of wrong and right.
Demons dance beneath the moon,
I hear their song, a haunting tune.
But through the storm, I raise my flame,
Against myself, I speak my name.
A battle rages in my soul,
To break the chains, to make me whole.
Verse 2:
Every step feels like sinking sand,
A trembling heart, an empty hand.
The fears I buried come alive,
I face the shadows where they hide.
I see the ghost of who I’ve been,
A warrior lost, a fading wind.
But through the dark, I feel the spark,
That guides me through the arc.
I feel the weight of silent wars,
The shattered dreams, the endless doors.
In every scream, I find the key,
To set my spirit free.
Chorus:
Against myself, I stand and fight,
In the depths of wrong and right.
Demons dance beneath the moon,
I hear their song, a haunting tune.
But through the storm, I raise my flame,
Against myself, I speak my name.
A battle rages in my soul,
To break the chains, to make me whole.
Bridge:
I fall, I rise, I break, I heal,
The war inside me is all too real.
The ghosts that haunt me scream so loud,
But I stand strong, I won’t be bowed.
In every tear, in every scar,
I find the light, no matter how far.
And as the shadows fade away,
I live to fight another day.
Against myself, I won’t back down,
I wear the scars, I wear the crown.
In the end, I’ll rise again,
To face the dark, to conquer the pain.
For every shadow, every fall,
I’ll rise stronger, I’ll stand tall.
Against myself, I’ll find my way,
And live to fight another day.
