Corteliax - The Battle Within Lyrics

You think you're strong, but you're barely alive
Clinging to a hope that you can't revive
Your battles are futile, your will's wearing thin
Just one small push, let the darkness win
I'm your escape, your sweet release
I'll take your pain and give you peace
Why fight a war you'll never win?
Embrace the quiet, let it begin
No, I hear you loud, but I won't fall
Your lies are sharp, but I'll stand tall
I've stumbled before, been bruised and scarred
But every wound's a lesson carved
My soul is a fire, it burns through the night
Your whispers fade in the glow of my light
You can haunt me, taunt me, but I won't give in
This life is mine, and I choose to win
Brave words, but you're cracking inside
I'm the storm you can't outrun or hide
Your victories are fleeting, your strength's an illusion
Soon you'll succumb to my sweet intrusion
You're alone, drowning, no one to save
Just let go, let me dig your grave
Why bear the burden, why wear the chain?
Surrender now, I'll take the pain
Alone? No, I've got an army within
Each breath I take is a battle I win
You prey on my doubts, but you can't take my soul
I'm not just surviving; I'm making me whole
Your storm is loud, but it passes fast
My roots are deep, and I'll outlast
This fight is mine, and I'll see it through
I am the light, and I'll silence you
You think you're free, but I'm part of your core
A shadow that lingers, an eternal war
You may rise, but I'll wait in the wings
A specter of doubt that forever clings
Stay if you must, but you'll never own me
You're a ghost in the past, a fading memory
I'm writing my story, my pen's in my hand
This is my life, and I'll make my stand
I hear your whispers, but they're fading away
A distant echo in the light of my day
You're just a part of me, but not who I am
I'm stronger, I'm brighter, I know where I stand
I'll be back
And I'll be ready
