I’m working on myself every day

I wake up with the sunrise, try to shake off yesterday
Put the pieces back together in a brand‑new kind of way

I’m checking all my faults like boxes on a list
But every time I fix one, there’s another that I missed

I’m climbing up the ladder that I built with my own hands
But the higher that I get, the more I feel the sinking sand

I’m working on myself every day
Still the problem lingers anyway

Like a shadow that won’t step out of the frame
I’m changing, but it whispers my name
Yeah, I’m fighting, but it’s stubborn as rain
Still the problem lingers anyway

I’m learning how to breathe when the pressure starts to rise
Trying not to measure my worth by my disguise

I’m breaking old habits like chains around my feet
But the echo of the past keeps pulling at me yeah
