Alternate Innevitability - Duality

Duality” explores the war within the self — the constant push and pull between light and darkness, strength and collapse, silence and chaos. It reflects the experience of living with mental health struggles, where two versions of yourself exist at once Lyrics : The misery of my own company Is slowly suffocating me While every thought inside my head Keeps putting me on trial instead Every wound refuses to heal Every scar reminds me it’s real Every word I try to say Pulls me further out of place Deep inside my soul There’s a void I can’t control If I could turn back time To when I still felt alive I wish I never turned out this way Fighting demons every day Battling against myself Looking for someone else But I’m still standing in the fire Even when it pulls me higher One voice says I’ll fall apart The other keeps a beating heart I’ve been buried in the pain Still I rise through every strain I may break, but I won’t fall There’s still something after all Wrestling shadows in my mind Some that lie, some that are blind But somewhere underneath the noise There’s a flicker, a quieter voice The mirror shows a stranger’s face But I can feel a fading trace Of who I was before the fall Before I learned to lose it all The light is small but it remains Cutting through the heavier chains Not enough to end the night But enough to fight the fight I wish I never turned out this way Fighting demons every day Battling against myself Looking for someone else But I’m still standing in the fire Even when it pulls me higher One voice says I’ll fall apart The other keeps a beating heart I’ve been buried in the pain Still I rise through every strain I may break, but I won’t fall There’s still something after all Was there ever something more? Or just silence at the core? I’ve given everything I had Still it echoes through the bad But inside the wreckage, see Two versions still inside of me One is fading, one survives Both are reasons I’m alive I’m still standing in the fire Learning how to climb higher One voice breaks, one voice stays Both are part of my worst days I’ve been buried, I’ve been bruised I’ve been everything I’ve used But I won’t disappear There’s still light keeping me here The misery of my own company Is still a part of me But not the only thing I see
