Battle Within (Piano Solo)
A raw, minimal acoustic piano, solo performance only. Emotional but cute female vocal, riff and runs, breathy to powerful, singing about inner demons and self-conflict. Only piano accompaniment, no drums, no bass, no guitar, no synth. Vocal: Light Lyric Soprano, Approximately 4 octaves (D3 – E7), with the ability to access whistle register, Strong belting with clear projection in the upper register, Frequent use of head voice and falsetto for soft, breathy textures, Skilled in melisma and fast vocal runs, Whistle register for extremely high, piercing notes

Lyrics
I hear the voices [low, breathy]
Inside my chest they scream [soft falsetto]
Every shadow’s pulling me,
into the fire of my own dreams [crescendo rising to mid range]
[Pre-Chorus – delicate, mid–high head voice]
I’m tired of fighting (ooh~) [gentle head voice]
With demons dressed like me [falsetto, fragile]
How can I run away,
when the monster lives inside of me? [stronger, belt lightly]
[Chorus – emotional belting, controlled power]
Heart in chaos [belt mid-high]
Tearing me apart in silence [head voice slide → chest belt]
Oh I’m weary, I’m weary [repetition, breathy falsetto]
Facing myself every night [belt sustained, then fall into whisper]
[Post-Chorus – whispered layering]
(whispered) “Battle within… battle within…”
aaaaaaaaaaa [whistle register for extremely high, piercing notes]
[interlude]
[Verse 2 – fragile, falsetto and runs]
Temptation whispers [falsetto airy]
sweet lies in my ear [slight melisma]
Every step I take,
the ground disappears [drop to low register, husky]
[Bridge – dramatic, almost spoken, rising emotion]
Tell me who I am [whisper → grow in pitch]
Without this endless war [belt high]
Am I the healer or the wound [softer falsetto line]
I can’t tell anymore [broken whisper]
[Chorus – full power belt then fade]
Heart in chaos [strong belt, vibrato]
Tearing me apart in silence [belt sustain, then fall off]
Oh I’m weary, I’m weary [falsetto echoes, layered whispers]
Facing myself every night [high note → falsetto drop]
[Outro – almost acapella, whisper + piano fading]
“One… two… three… four…”
[soft falsetto]
Battle within…
…within.
