Shatterborn

(Verse 1)

I’ve been walking through the dark with my own light,

Holding all my pieces like a quiet fight.

Everyone sees strength in the way I stand,

But they don’t see the tremor in my shaking hands.

I’m the kind of girl who feels storms early,

The kind who knows when someone’s lying to me.

You call it “moody,” but it’s survival instinct —

I’ve learned to read danger in the smallest blink.

(Pre-Chorus 1)

And I know I scare you when I go quiet,

But silence is the place I learned to survive it.

Every time I break, I do it out of sight —

’Cause nobody protects the ones who fight.

(Chorus 1)

I’m Shatterborn, I’m made of storm,

Too fierce for the world that tried to conform.

I burn too bright, I break too fast,

A future stitched from a shattered past.

I glow in the places where I’ve been torn,

The beauty in the bruise you never saw forming.

Yeah, I strike like thunder, fall like rain —

But I rise, I rise again.

(Verse 2)

There’s a darkness in me that I rarely show,

A quiet ache from things nobody knows.

I’ve learned to love like a warning shot,

I give everything, even when I shouldn’t have fought.

I don’t trust easy — I’ve seen too much,

Hands that said “love” but never meant the touch.

I’ve been broken in ways I never said out loud,

Still I rise, still I stay unbowed.

(Pre-Chorus 2)

And you think I’m cold when I hesitate,

But I’m just choosing who gets past the gate.

I’ve been used, I’ve been lied to, I’ve been dismissed —

That’s why I guard the softness you insist doesn’t exist.

(Chorus 2)

I’m Shatterborn, I’m made of storm,

Too fierce for the world that tried to conform.

I burn too bright, I break too fast,

A future stitched from a shattered past.

I glow in the places where I’ve been torn,

The beauty in the bruise you never saw forming.

Yeah, I strike like thunder, fall like rain —

But I rise, I rise again.

(Bridge)

I’m not fearless — I’m familiar with fear,

It’s a language I learned far too young to hear.

I’ve loved people who wanted my weakness,

Gave more than I had just to feel needed.

But every break became a warning sign,

And every scar rewrote the shape of my spine.

Now I rise like a ghost from the fire I lit,

A little less trusting, a little more lit.

(Chorus)

I’m Shatterborn, I’m forged in fire,

Bright enough to haunt, sharp enough to inspire.

Too real for a world that hides behind masks,

Too soft for the ones who can’t hold what they grasp.

I shine in the shadows of everything I survived,

Half alive, half divine.

And when I fall, I crumble like ash —

But I rise, something no one can surpass.

’Cause I strike like thunder when I’m hurting,

And break like glass when I’m burning —

But every time they think I’m gone…

I come back.
