I just wanted silence tonight,

just one moment to breathe alone,

but even in the quiet I hear you,

like a voice I’ve always known. (I’ve always known)

You move slowly through my thoughts,

like a shadow I can’t escape,

every step that I try to take,

feels like walking through your weight.

I try to run but you pull me closer,

I try to speak but you take control,

every time I start to feel stronger,

you remind me I’m not whole. (whole, whole)

I don’t want you inside my mind,

I don’t need you to feel alive,

I’ve been fighting you for so long,

now I’m trying to survive. ( whispered: I’m trying to survive)

No… I won’t fall again,

I won’t disappear this time,

you can stay in the shadows,

but you won’t control my mind. (anger: you won’t control my mind)

You whisper softly in the silence,

say you’re the one who keeps me safe,

you tell me I will fall without you,

that I’ll never find my way. (my way, my wayyy)

But I’m stronger than your echo,

even if you never leave,

I can stand here in the darkness,

I can finally breathe.

I don’t want you inside my mind,

I don’t need you to feel alive,

I’ve been fighting you for so long,

now I’m trying to survive.

No… I won’t fall again,

I won’t disappear this time,

you can stay in the shadows,

but you won’t control my mind.

Even if you live inside me,

even if you never fade,

I will learn to face the silence,

I am not afraid.

I don’t want you inside my mind,

I don’t need you to feel alive,

I’ve been fighting you for so long,

now I’m trying to survive.

I will rise above your shadow,

I will finally be free,

you can whisper all you want now,

you don’t control me.(anger: you won’t control my mind)
