(Verse 1)
Shadows in the hallway, static in my head
Living with the wreckage of the words I never said
They told me I was broken, a danger to the dark
Trying to find a whisper inside a dying spark
Everyone has tried to pull the poison from my vein
Sliding under doors just to quantify my pain
But they don't know the machinery, they don't know the key
There is only one who holds the blueprint to me.
(Chorus)
No one else can take the monster out
No one else can quiet down the doubt
Only he can reach inside the storm
Break the sharp edges, make the spirit warm
He can fix me better than anybody can
Piece me back together, a stronger, better man
Rebuild the shattered glass, stronger than before
I found my reason standing at your door.
(Verse 2)
Looking at you now, the fog begins to clear
I trace the lines of purpose, I trace away the fear
The sirens in the distance can call out my name
I’m done surviving in the ashes of my shame
I spent a lifetime waiting for the cure to arrive
Now I’m standing in the open, fully alive.
(Bridge)
So let the thunder roll, let the floorboards shake
I won't bend, I won't bow, I won't break
I won’t go quiet into the night
I won’t run from the rising light
I will not hide, I will not crawl
I’m standing tall through it all.
(Chorus)
No one else can take the monster out
No one else can quiet down the doubt
Only he can reach inside the storm
Break the sharp edges, make the spirit warm
He can fix me better than anybody can
Piece me back together, a stronger, better man
Rebuild the shattered glass, stronger than before
I found my reason standing at your door.
(Outro)
I found my reason looking at you…
No running now.
No hiding now.
Piece by piece, better than before.
I won't go quiet.
