Lyrics
(instrumental into)
I am a man with a shadowed past,
Childhood screams that echo and last,
Abuse and pain, scars unseen,
Living a nightmare, lost in between.
(Pre-Chorus)
Haunted by the memories, can’t escape the night,
Flashing through my mind, a never-ending fight.
Trust is shattered, connections break,
My world on fire, but I won’t forsake.
(Chorus)
Chains that bind, deep inside,
Raging war within my mind.
Fighting demons, living scars,
Seeking solace in the stars.
These shadows, won’t define,
I will rise, through the pain and climb.
(guitar solo)
(Verse 2)
Life’s a struggle, day by day,
Hypervigilant, always prey,
Impulsive actions, feelings raw,
Worthlessness that claws and gnaws.
(Pre-Chorus)
Lashing out, or drawing in,
Mood swings wild, a chaotic spin.
Friends see pain, but can’t reach in,
I’m trapped in a whirlwind, but won’t give in.
(Chorus)
Chains that bind, deep inside,
Raging war within my mind.
Fighting demons, living scars,
Seeking solace in the stars.
These shadows, won’t define,
I will rise, through the pain and climb.
(drum solo)
(Verse 3)
Sleepless nights, staring at the ceiling,
Heart pounding fast, can’t shake the feeling.
Anxiety grips, pulls me down deep,
A vicious cycle, no rest, no sleep.
(Pre-Chorus)
Almost gave up, almost let go,
But something inside wouldn’t let me fold.
Clinging to the fragments, of a shattered soul,
Determined to survive, to make myself whole.
(Chorus)
Chains that bind, deep inside,
Raging war within my mind.
Fighting demons, living scars,
Seeking solace in the stars.
These shadows, won’t define,
I will rise, through the pain and climb.
(guitar solo)
(Verse 4)
Waking up to darkness, fighting through the day,
Every step a burden, shadows in the fray.
Feeling like I’m drowning, in a sea of doubt,
Trying to find a lifeline, trying to break out.
(Pre-Chorus)
In the darkest hours, teetering on the brink,
Questioning my purpose, too exhausted to think.
Therapy’s a beacon, guiding me through,
Step by step, I face the truth.
(drum solo)
(Verse 5)
Friends see pain, they try to understand,
But the weight I carry, they can’t comprehend.
Isolation whispers, tempting me to hide,
But I choose to stand, with fire in my eyes.
(Pre-Chorus)
In the night, I find my strength,
Through the therapy, I go the length,
Facing fears, step by step,
Healing wounds, no more regret.
(Solo)
(Chorus)
Chains that bind, deep inside,
Raging war within my mind.
Fighting demons, living scars,
Seeking solace in the stars.
These shadows, won’t define,
I will rise, through the pain and climb.
(drum solo)
(guitar solo)
(Outro)
My story, a testament,
Through the darkness, I find ascent,
Resilience forged in fire’s might,
A warrior reborn in the metal night.
(drum solo)
(guitar solo)
(Outro)
My story, a testament,
Through the darkness, I find ascent,
Resilience forged in fire’s might,
A warrior reborn in the metal night.
