[Verse 1]
Mascara on my pillow
Still there from last year
Tracing every shaky line
I drew around my fear
All my crooked edges
I tried to sand them smooth
But every scar I covered
Just started shining through
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been editing my heartbeat
Down to what they wanna see
But these shadows in the mirror
Keep reaching out to me
[Chorus]
Hands up high for the broken hearts (hey)
We’re done hiding all the shattered parts
If we’re monsters
Then we’re monsters made of gold
Every secret that we carry makes us whole
Sing it loud
All together
All as one
As it sounds when the lies are gone
[Verse 2]
I made friends with my panic
Sat it down for tea
Said
“You can stay
Just know
You don’t get to drive me”
Your darkness has a sister
Mine’s been here as well
We can braid our different storms
Into something we can yell
[Pre-Chorus]
We’re the choir of the cracked ones
Turning tremors into drum
When your voice starts shaking
That’s where all the power comes
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Lean on me when your colors fade
I’ll lean on you when I’m tired of being brave
[stacked harmonies]
Every flaw
Every fault
We can throw it in the song
’Til the truth feels right on our tongues
[Chorus]
