I’m Not Me in the Dark (Alt 3)

I walked too long with shadows on my back, Learned their language, learned to counterattack. In the pitch-black halls where the lost hearts roam, I fought the dark so long it felt like home.

But even if the night surrounds me… There’s a distant door that keeps calling out my name.

I’m not me in the dark, I’m stronger when I face the fight. I’ve wrestled shadows and carried their mark, But I’m climbing toward the light. If the dark tries draggin’ me under, I won’t break apart — ‘Cause I’m not who I was in the dark… I’m learnin’ who I am in the light.

The night once tried to chain me to its ground, Held my ankles tight, tried to pull me down. But I’ve walked these depths, I know every scar — Now I push ahead toward a door not far.

And the shadows that once gripped me? Ain’t demons — they’re just pain I left unnamed.

I’m not me in the dark, I’m tougher than the storms I’ve known. Every scar is a map through the hard — Proof I never walked alone. If the night keeps holdin’ my shoulders, I won’t fall back in that mark — ‘Cause I’m not who I was in the dark… I’m stepping closer to the dawn.

Ohh… the dark kept trying to claim me… Ohh… but the light keeps breakin’ through inside me…

I’m not me in the dark, I’m rising with a brand new fire. I’ve fought too long to stay where I was — I’m climbing higher, braver, wiser. Let the night claw, trying to bind me — It can’t hold my heart. I’m not who I was in the dark… I’m the man who finally reached the light.
