Engraved in the Pavement

(Verse 1) Yeah, shadows creeping, got the weight on my chest, Fighting through the night, but I’m still feeling stressed, Demons in the mirror, they whisper and jest, Telling me I’m lost, put my soul to the test. Mind’s a battlefield, scars I can’t erase, Chasing after peace, but I’m stuck in this race, Haunted by the past, every move’s like a trace, Trying to break free, but I’m caught in their space. (Verse 2) Dark thoughts linger, like smoke in the air, Every step I take, feel the grip of despair, But I’m rising up, yeah, I’m ready to dare, Letting go of the chains, I’m shedding the wear. Every verse a weapon, I’m armed with my pain, Turning my struggles into lyrical rain, No more living scared, I’m embracing the strain, Gonna dance with my demons, let ‘em know I’m the flame. or
