Shatter Me In Shadow

(Verse 1 – Soft, Piano + Whispered Vocals)

Cold hands on the keys,

I’m breathing in the silence.

Your echo haunts the halls of me,

A ghost dressed in defiance.

Every memory bleeds like rain,

Falling through my open veins,

And I’m begging for the light,

But the dark keeps calling my name.

(Pre-Chorus – Strings Rising, Drums Enter)

I tried to hold on—

But the truth keeps breaking through.

You were my safe place,

Now I’m unsafe without you.

(Chorus – Full Band, Heavy Guitars + High Vocals)

So shatter me in shadows,

If that’s the only way to feel alive.

I’m standing in the wreckage,

With a heart too broken to survive.

But I’ll scream through all the ashes,

’Til the thunder cuts the sky—

You can tear me down to pieces,

Still I’ll rise… I’ll rise.

(Verse 2 – Clean Guitar + Piano, Soft → Strong)

Your words are fading scars,

Still burning underneath me.

I trace them in the dark,

Hoping pain will set me free.

The mirror shows the war I hide,

A fragile truth I can’t deny—

I’m drowning in the “almosts,”

But still I fight to stay alive.

(Pre-Chorus – More Intense)

I tried to hold on—

But my hands keep slipping through.

I lost the world I trusted…

When I lost the world in you.

(Chorus – Even Bigger, More Emotion)

So shatter me in shadows,

If that’s the only way to feel alive.

I’m standing in the wreckage,

With a heart too broken to survive.

But I’ll scream through all the ashes,

’Til the thunder cuts the sky—

You can tear me down to pieces,

Still I’ll rise… I’ll rise.

(Bridge – Haunting, Choir + Heavy Guitar Build-Up)

Break these chains I wear inside,

Cut the fear I try to hide.

I’m torn, I’m bruised,

But I won’t fall again.

Let the darkness take its throne,

I’ll burn it down, reclaim my soul.

From the fire I begin—

This is where I rise again.

(Final Chorus – Massive, Emotional, Cathartic)

Shatter me in shadows,

But I will learn to breathe tonight.

I’m rising from the ruins,

Where I once believed I’d die.

Hear me scream across the silence,

Feel the power in my cry—

You can tear me down to pieces,

Still I’ll rise…

Still I’ll rise…

I’ll rise.

(Outro – Soft Piano, Final Whisper)

In the dark,

I found the light in me.
