Silent Battles

Eyes heavy from another restless night, it's a cycle, the past never rests

Shadows whisper secrets tight, and my heart, it pounds out of my chest

Takin' steps, but the ground feels thin, cracks in the sidewalk of my mind

Tryin' to find the peace within, but the echoes of war ain't kind

Mirror reflects the man I hide, scars buried deep within my soul

Voices that taunt and collide, and I'm losing grip, losing control

Soon as I wake from the night, there's a weight, memories chase me through the shadowed hall

Can't silence the fears, but I fight, my fault or nothin' is ever resolved

At least I can say I'm still fightin' -- hello, world

He's too invested in the moments that pass him by
