[Intro]

Verse 1]
0:13
I pour too much whiskey just to quiet my head
0:13
Pop a couple pills just to crawl out of bed
0:17
Drive too damn fast like I’m chasing the end
0:21
Every red light’s a dare I take again
0:24
My boss says one more slip and I’m done
0:29
My temper’s lit like a loaded gun
0:32
Every love I had, I let it fall apart
0:36
Left ashes in the bed and bruises on their hearts
0:40
[Pre-Chorus]
0:44
But she don’t flinch when I spiral down
0:44
Sees the lost little kid beneath the battleground
0:48
Her voice cuts through the chaos, calm and thin
0:51
Telling me the war ain’t outside—it’s within
0:55
[Chorus / Hook]
1:00
I’m trying to overcome the enemy within
1:00
Face the fire burning right under my skin
1:04
All the rage, the hurt—where do I begin?
1:07
She’s holding me up when I can’t stand again
1:11
Yeah… I’m trying to overcome the enemy within
1:18
[Verse 2]
1:23
I see my kids step back when I come home late
1:23
Fear in their eyes like I’m someone they hate
1:27
And damn, it kills me but I wear the blame
1:31
Demons in the street taught me more than shame
1:34
I stay mean, stay cold, stay ready to crack
1:37
Like every day’s a war and I can’t go back
1:41
My past is a graveyard full of mistakes
1:45
I dig into the darkness every breath I take
1:49
[Pre-Chorus]
1:53
I’m bruised by nights I never chose
1:53
Haunted by hands from years ago
1:57
But she stands firm when the room starts to spin
2:00
She says the battle starts where the truth gets in
2:04
[Chorus / Hook]
2:09
I’m trying to overcome the enemy within
2:09
Face the fire burning right under my skin
2:13
All the rage, the hurt—where do I begin?
2:16
She’s holding me up when I can’t stand again
2:20
Yeah… I’m trying to overcome the enemy within
2:24
[Bridge]
2:33
I’m on a mission to self-destruct
2:33
Burning every bridge just to feel tough
2:36
But she’s the only one who sees past the scar
2:39
Says I’m more than the bottle or the speeding car
2:43
I don’t wanna lose her, she’s patient and kind
2:47
The first real love I’ve had in a long, long time
2:51
She whispers, “Baby, you’re worth the fight.”
2:54
And I’m trying, God knows, with all my might
2:57
Even when the darkness sinks its teeth in
3:02
She won’t let me drown in the man I’ve been
3:05
[Chorus / Hook – Big & Gritty]
3:09
I’m trying to overcome the enemy within
3:09
Face the fire burning right under my skin
3:17
All the rage, the hurt—where do I begin?
3:21
She’s holding me up when I can’t stand again
3:26
Yeah… I’m trying to overcome the enemy withinStep by step, maybe I’ll learn to win
3:32
With her by my side, I might rise again
3:42
Fighting demons I’ve carried since I was ten
3:46
Together we… overcome the enemy within
3:49
