Inner Demons - J.A.I

Lyrics video for my eighth track from the album Mirror’s Parallax (Pop side)!

LYRICS:
___________
Shattered mirrors show my lost dreams
Scattered pieces tearing at the seams
Phantoms whisper to me, I search for light
Battling shadows that haunt me every night
Anxiety consumes me, panic grips my soul
Anger builds within me, out of control
Parental voices saying I'm always wrong
Silent walls imprison me, I don't belong

Inner demons call my name
I push you away before you leave
Shouting lies, fueling shame
Hurting us both so I can grieve

I'm my own worst enemy inside my head
Words unspoken are the ones I dread
I see the pain reflected in your eyes
Regret fills me as I apologize
Laughing loud to drown the pain inside
But tears expose the wounds I hide
Judged at every turn, never enough
Carrying this weight is getting tough

Inner demons call my name
I push you away before you leave
Shouting lies, fueling shame
Hurting us both so I can grieve

Shadows lurking I can't control
Roots run deep, consuming my soul
Longing to escape this endless veil
Desperate to find my own true trail
Chains of fear are holding tight
Trapped within a maze without sight
Past memories won't set me free
Reaching out, will someone rescue me?

My childhood echoes with a silent cry
Abandoned, forgotten, as years pass by
Mother with two faces, father's twisted games
Smiling as they hurt me, causing hidden pains
Wearing armor that doesn't fit
A maiden struggling to not submit
Emptiness inside I can't explain
Maybe in this void, I'll start again

Inner demons call my name
I push you away before you leave
Shouting lies, fueling shame
Hurting us both so I can grieve
I'm striving for redemption, to make pieces whole
But can I mend the fragments of my heart?
To silence voices, reclaim my soul
Is self-forgiveness the place to start?

I want to get out, I want to be free...
I want to shout out, this isn't me...
I want to get out, I want to be free...
Please let me become who I'm meant to be...

Hey hey~

First of all, if you need or want to talk to someone,
you know how to reach me!
Please don't hold back if ever you feel overwhelmed, sad, or lonely~

Second,
would you mind releaseing an instrumental / off-vocal version?
As sad and meaningful as the lyrics are,
the music is very calming.

Third,
the lyrics could use some more work.
The meaning is good, and quite impactful,
vocabulary could be improved certainly,
but mainly the rhyme schema needs to be broken a bit more.
As is, it's a tad repetitive / bland.
Would be nice for the sound of the lyrics to be as impactful as the meaning! ^^

ジャイさん大丈夫すか？
友達が必要ですか？
僕は君と留まりていますよ！
You now how the misfortune of having drawn my liking,
I will smother you with love and praise~ ^-^
