Scars In The Mirror ft. Lil Eddie Lyrics

For what does it profit a person to gain the whole world

And forfeit their soul?

For what can a person give in return for their soul?

They say healing comes slow, but the world moves fast

I'm caught between the present and the weight of the past

Dreamt of heaven, but my sinful heart is stuck in the sludge

Prayin' for grace while I'm scrubbin' off the blood

Yeah success is sweet, but it's bitter on my tongue

Our daughter died and on that day my world came undone

So I started workin' harder, adrenaline & stress

Chasin' life obsessed, addicted to no rest

The mirror shows a fighter, but I only see the scars

A constellation of pain tryna reach the stars

I built an empire, on the dreams of old

But what's a kingdom worth if you could lose your soul?

Scars in the mirror, shadows in my mind

Tryna piece it together, i feel I'm running out of time

They say the climb is worth it when you reach the throne

But what's a crown even mean if you're all alone

Alone, alone

The audience cheers, but they don't hear the echoes

Of the nights I cried out, wrestling with fears though

I teach people to rise, yet it's hard sometimes

Perfection's a prison I design in my mind

Marriage ain't a fairytale; it's work and it's grace

I'm Inner child healing while I journal in my space

You think I'm strong, I'm like a house of cards at times

Balancin' my grief with dreams and blurry lines

The Silence is loud, and yet I hear God speak

He says You're strongest my child

When you can admit you're weak

This ain't just rap; it's a sermon in the fog

For anyone with scars who's still searching for God

Scars in the mirror, shadows in my mind

Tryna piece it together, i feel I'm running out of time

They say the climb is worth it when you reach the throne

But what's a crown even mean if you're all alone

Alone, alone

Each step I take I'm walking the wire

Weight on my soul makes me uninspired

Seeking peace that my spirit can discern

Holding my ground as the tables turn

They say strength is born in the fire

But some days, Mate, I'm just tired

I light the match cos this is how I learn

You can have it all back while I watch it all burn

People see the coach, the leader, the drive

They don't know the nights I prayed just to survive

Life ain't a straight line; it's a road full of turns

Healing's not a finish line, it's lessons you learn

Faith in the Lord but I'm flawed and I stumble

Prayin' Holy Spirit please keep me humble

The grief hits like waves, sometimes I let it drown me

Then I feel God's hand reach, He astounds me

I'm broken but I'm whole

Scarred but I'm free

A paradox of pain and hope swirling in me

And if my story brings hope to one broken soul

Then every scar I bear is worth its weight in gold

Scars in the mirror, shadows in my mind

Tryna piece it together, i feel I'm running out of time

They say the climb is worth it when you reach the throne

But what's a crown even mean if you're all alone

Alone, alone
