Reminders on My Skin

The room goes silent, but inside there's a war

I hear voices in the darkness knocking on my door

Scars on my body, marks of battles I've survived

Each one a memory of a night I stayed alive

When the pain is all that’s real

And the wounds refuse to heal

Fighting demons in my head, all I hear is screaming

The fire burns beneath my skin, oh but I keep believing

Every mark tells a story, of how strong I can be

Reminders on my skin, of the days I set me free

Mirror won’t meet my gaze, shadows pulling me in

I trace the faded lines, reminders where I’ve been

But I’m standing on the edge, with hope I try to light

Learning every sorrow gives me another fight

When the pain is all that’s real

And the wounds refuse to heal

Fighting demons in my head, all I hear is screaming

The fire burns beneath my skin, oh but I keep believing

Every mark tells a story, of how strong I can be

Reminders on my skin, of the days I set me free

Maybe the night can’t steal my soul

Even broken hearts can be made whole

With every breath I’m holding on

Though it’s dark, I know I'll see the dawn

Fighting demons in my head, all I hear is screaming

The fire burns beneath my skin, oh but I keep believing

Every mark tells a story, of how strong I can be

Reminders on my skin, of the days I set me freeSo I’ll wear my scars with pride

Proof I never ran, proof I survived
