Shadows & Fire from Self Reflection by Matthew Johnson

There’s a war inside my head
Where the light and dark collide
Every smile I wear in daylight
Hides the fight I feel inside

I’m burning out in silence
While the shadows call my name
Trying hard to stand my ground
In a battle with my shame

[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I can’t escape
The weight that pulls me down
But I keep on reaching up
Even when I hit the ground

[Chorus]
Shadows and fire, pulling me apart
Tearing through my body, burning in my heart
I stumble in the darkness, still I chase the light
Shadows and fire, I’ll fight ‘til I get it right

[Verse 2]
There are nights I feel so broken
Like a voice I can’t control
Through the pain and through the silence
I still fight to save my soul

Every scar becomes a warning
Every bruise a lesson learned
And even in the darkest night
I know the fire still burns

[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I lose my way
But I know I’m not alone
I can find the strength again
To make the fight my own

[Chorus]
Shadows and fire, pulling me apart
Tearing through my body, burning in my heart
I stumble in the darkness, still I chase the light
Shadows and fire, I’ll fight ‘til I get it right

[Bridge]
I won’t let the shadows win
I’ll rise again, I’ll rise again
Through the fire, through the flame
I’ll be stronger from the pain

[Final Chorus]
Shadows and fire, pulling me apart
But I’m still here and I’m guarding my heart
I stumble in the darkness, still I chase the light
Shadows and fire, I’ll fight ‘til I get it right
