Demons In My Head

**Verse 1** Young kid, schoolyard, back against the fence Laughs hit harder than the fists, never made sense Backpack heavy but it weren’t just the books Carried all the names they threw, all the dirty looks Stayed quiet, head low, tryna just exist Every bruise hidden, every tear dismissed Went home to the dark, no one asking why Just a kid learning early how to hurt inside **Verse 2** Teen years came, mind stuck in a maze Dark thoughts circling, trapped in a haze Looking in the mirror like “who is that face?” Fighting every day just to keep my place Demons in my head, they don’t ever rest Heart full of weight, heavy in my chest Smiles on the outside, breaking within Every single night felt like I couldn’t win **Verse 3** Streets called loud, I was barely grown Wrong crowd found me, started feeling like home Late nights, fast life, tryna feel numb Anything to escape where I’m coming from Hands got dirty, conscience turned cold Stories in my eyes that I never told Lost a piece of me with every mistake Just a young soul with too much at stake **Verse 4** Now I’m tryna climb out the life I chose Cutting off ties, facing what I know Still got scars but they don’t define Every step forward, I reclaim what’s mine Fighting through the dark, I can see some light Even on my worst days, I’m still in the fight Past don’t own me, I’m rewriting the script From a broken kid to a man that won’t quit **Verse 5** Still in the storm but I’m mapping a way Same old blocks, different mindset today Temptation calling, yeah it knows my name But I’m dodging them traps, I ain’t playing that game Cold nights, cravings try pull me back in Voices in my head still loud as sin But I’m gripping that hope even when it’s thin Every step forward is a quiet win **Verse 6** I ain’t out yet but I’m closer than before Every scar got a story I survived the war Still fighting them thoughts when they creep in late But I’m choosing to live, I ain’t sealing my fate From them dark days, I was lost in the haze Now I’m chasing a life in a different lane Yeah the past still echoes, I just don’t fold I’m a work in progress… but I’m breaking the mold
