rebs man - the struggle within

[Verse 1] Woke up to a world, so strange and cold, Half a man, half machine, in this skin I hold. These RIBs weigh heavy, like chains on my soul, Every step I take, I lose a little control. I’m torn between the past and what I’ve become, The storm inside me, it won’t be outrun. The power in my veins, it’s too much to bear, I see the fear in their eyes, but they wouldn’t dare. [Chorus] I’m lost in the struggle, the battle within, Fighting this hybrid that lives in my skin. These RIBs expand, but I feel so small, Caught in the middle, afraid I might fall. I’m lost in the struggle, can’t find my way, Trapped in the shadows of yesterday. This power’s a curse, it’s breaking me down, I wear the mask, but I’m wearing a frown. [Verse 2] I hear them whisper, “He’s not the same,” They don’t know the burden, they don’t feel the pain. I’m sinking deeper, can’t find the light, The man I was, slipping out of sight. The ocean’s calling, but I can’t swim, The weight of these RIBs pulls me back in. I’m fighting myself, in this endless fight, Every day’s a battle just to feel alright. [Chorus] I’m lost in the struggle, the battle within, Fighting this hybrid that lives in my skin. These RIBs expand, but I feel so small, Caught in the middle, afraid I might fall. I’m lost in the struggle, can’t find my way, Trapped in the shadows of yesterday. This power’s a curse, it’s breaking me down, I wear the mask, but I’m wearing a frown. [Bridge] I see the man in the mirror, but he’s not me, A reflection of what I used to be. This power’s a prison, no way to escape, I’m stuck in this body, can’t change my shape. The fight’s not over, but I’m losing ground, In the silence of the night, I hear the sound, Of my heart breaking, of my soul in pain, Wondering if I’ll ever feel whole again. [Chorus] I’m lost in the struggle, the battle within, Fighting this hybrid that lives in my skin. These RIBs expand, but I feel so small, Caught in the middle, afraid I might fall. I’m lost in the struggle, can’t find my way, Trapped in the shadows of yesterday. This power’s a curse, it’s breaking me down, I wear the mask, but I’m wearing a frown. [Outro] But deep inside, there’s a spark that won’t die, In the depths of the struggle, I still reach for the sky. The fight’s not over, I’ll find my way, In the heart of the storm, I’ll rise one day.
