Shadows in My Mind
By ArtistUnknown
[Intro / Hook]
Yeah… it’s heavy in my chest,
Tryna fight the pain, but I’m losing rest.
Every day’s a war that I can’t define,
I’m running from the shadows in my mind.
[Verse 1]
Wake up in the morning, but the sunlight fades,
Dark thoughts creep in like a night-time raid.
Smile on my face but it’s just a disguise,
Nobody can see the storm behind these eyes.
Pressure on my soul, man, I’m feeling confined,
Caged in my head with no key to find.
They say “stay strong,” but they don’t understand,
It’s like sinking in the ocean, reaching out for a hand.
[Chorus]
Depression got me locked, tryna break these chains,
Drowning in the silence, can’t escape the pain.
I’m searching for a light that I still can’t see,
But I’m fighting every day just to set me free.
[Verse 2]
The world keeps spinning, but I’m stuck in place,
Mirror showing scars I don’t wanna face.
Numb to the joy, but I feel the despair,
Lonely in a crowd, like nobody’s there.
Voices in my head, they be telling me lies,
Saying I ain’t worth it, why even try?
But deep in my chest, there’s a flicker of flame,
If I make it through the night, tomorrow ain’t the same.
[Chorus]
Depression got me locked, tryna break these chains,
Drowning in the silence, can’t escape the pain.
I’m searching for a light that I still can’t see,
But I’m fighting every day just to set me free.
[Verse 3]
I know there’s more to life than the fear I feel,
Gotta bleed these wounds so my soul can heal.
Every scar I got is a story to tell,
I’ve been living in the darkness, but I won’t dwell.
Reach out to the ones who can hold me tight,
Even in the darkness there’s a chance for light.
Depression ain’t a weakness, it’s a part of the fight,
And I’m rising from the shadows, stepping into the night.
[Hook / Outro]
Yeah… it’s heavy in my chest,
But I’m learning every day how to find my rest.
Pain don’t define me, it sharpens my grind,
I’m breaking from the shadows in my mind.
