Demons

Intro (male vocals only):
In the mirror I see a shadow trailing me,
Fear in my thoughts, pressing in silently.
Every bottle was meant to drown the pain,
But every wall I built just locked me in again.

Verse 1 (male vocals only):
In the mirror I see a shadow walking behind,
Fear in my thoughts, crowding my mind at night.
Every bottle was meant to put out the pain,
But instead of relief, it built up the chains.

Anger in my heart, like a sleeping volcano,
Waiting for the moment, then letting it go.
Every glass muffled the scream of regret,
But the rage inside me never found rest.

Fists clenched tight, hands shaking with hate,
I searched in the darkness for my own fate.
The emptiness grew, drowning out my spark,
And I screamed at myself, alone in the dark.

But deep down inside, in the ashes and fear,
A flame of life flickered, still burning clear.
Of abandoned dreams and faith set on fire,
I started to fight back, to break from the mire.

[Instrumental break – heavy guitar, vinyl scratching]

Chorus (male vocals only):
I break the chains that pulled me down,
I find my strength, though pain comes around.
I won’t be defeated, won’t drown in the shade,
I’m moving forward—my fate remade!

[Instrumental break – heavy guitar, vinyl scratching]

Verse 2 (male vocals only):
Alcohol whispered, “Just stay a while,”
I believed its lies for far too many miles.
Every sip cut me off from the world outside,
But inside my soul, I felt something die.

Anger was a fire burning me within,
That’s why I write this verse, confessing my sin.
Everything I loved lost its point of view,
And I kept building walls with guilt I knew.

But one night I stared at my shadow again,
Finally saw I was repeating the same old pain.
I can’t keep running from myself anymore,
I have to stand and fight, down to my core.

Every moment of pain is a brick in the wall,
That I want to shatter, so I can stand tall.
I’m not my own enemy, not a prisoner of night,
I can rise up again, step into the light.

[Instrumental break – heavy guitar, vinyl scratching]

Chorus (male vocals only):
I break the chains that pulled me down,
I find my strength, though pain comes around.
I won’t be defeated, won’t drown in the shade,
I’m moving forward—my fate remade!

[Instrumental break – heavy guitar, vinyl scratching]

Verse 3 (male vocals only):
Every new scar is proof of this fight,
Every step forward is pushing through the night.
I’m no longer a prisoner of anger or dread,
I found the courage to rise from the dead.

Demons of the past still whisper in my head,
But they have no power over what’s ahead.
I’m learning forgiveness, learning to breathe,
Every moment’s a chance to finally believe.

In my heart burns a fire full of might,
Guiding me through the darkness of night.
I don’t look back, I don’t retrace my ways,
I build bridges now where I once built barricades.

My faith in myself grows stronger each day,
Sometimes pain returns, trying to lead me astray.
But I won’t be defeated, won’t fade into shade,
I’m writing my story—today’s a new page.

[Instrumental break – heavy guitar, vinyl scratching]

Chorus (male vocals only):
I break the chains that pulled me down,
I find my strength, though pain comes around.
I won’t be defeated, won’t drown in the shade,
I’m moving forward—my fate remade!

Outro (male vocals only):
From shadows to sunrise, I rise and I fight,
The chains are behind me, I step into light.
With every new morning, I claim my own name,
No longer a prisoner, I’m free from the shame.
