Pain in my Eyes

pain in my eyes so many nights I cried inside I died was living a lie Didn't even know myself Was sunk in a place Down so deep couldn't even see my face Lost in the world Just a victim wasn't innocent tho but got caught in system locked behind bars threw away the key sitting in that cell all I had was God and me Now we riding Now I rise can look in the mirror don't see anymore pain in my eyes Life's a battle we come out with scars Victory on the horizon Yet still im flawed Just a man on a mission I'm preaching Jesus Not religion Pain in my eyes, shadows tellin' lies, So many nights I cried, lost in the skies. Inside I died, buried thoughts in disguise, Mirror's reflection, I don’t recognize. Was trapped in a maze, mind’s a twisted place, Sunk so deep, couldn’t even see my face. Chasin' the ghost of who I used to be, Now I’m fightin' demons, refuse to set me free. Heart heavy like lead, burdened dreams in my head, Thought I was livin’ right, but I felt misled. Days turned to nights , and the silence was loud, Drowning in doubt, lost faith in the crowd. Searching for light in the depths of despair, Every tear that I shed, left a mark on the air. Rising from ashes, I’m reclaiming my soul, Breakin' these chains, yeah, I’m takin' control.
