The Song in My Head

Maybe it's the way the night feels cold Softly whispering truths I've never told A song in my head, it won't let go Colors fade, but they still glow Typical stories, they don't fit me I walk alone where no one can see Shadows stretch as I chase the light A restless soul, running through the night A hundred reasons to break away But one keeps pulling, begging to stay Every scar I wear, it tells a tale Through every loss, I refuse to fail Softly, the world starts to fade Maybe this time, I'll find my way A hundred reasons to leave it behind But the song in my head keeps me aligned Colors blend, and they reappear Maybe the answer has always been here A blank canvas, painted in grey The echoes linger, but I push them away On broken paths, I find my stride Through the cracks, there's a life inside Every tear I cried became my shield Every battle won on this open field It's not typical, but it's my own fight A brighter dawn breaking through the night Softly, the world starts to fade Maybe this time, I'll find my way A hundred reasons to leave it behind But the song in my head keeps me aligned Colors blend, and they reappear Maybe the answer has always been here What if the darkness is where I heal? What if the chaos is what makes it real? Every fall has a melody Every pain becomes my symphony The light comes softly after the storm The pieces align in a brand-new form On my own, I'm finding my ground A better me in the silence found Softly, the world starts to fade Maybe this time, I'll find my way A hundred reasons to leave it behind But the song in my head keeps me aligned Colors blend, and they reappear Maybe the answer has always been here Softly, the echoes fall away The typical story rewrites today A hundred reasons, but I choose just one The song in my head says I'm not done
