[Verse 1]
I’ve been running in a circle
Tracing names into the dust
Every version feels borrowed
Every promise turned to rust
Tried on faces like a costume
Till they all blurred into one
In the mirror I’m a stranger
Asking
"What have you become?"
[Pre-Chorus]
All this pressure in my chest
Like I’m standing on my own throat
If I tear apart the rest
Will I finally feel whole?
[Chorus]
Break yourself open
Let it all pour out
If it has to hurt
Then scream it loud
Finding myself
Means losing you somehow
Break yourself open
(yeah, break yourself open now)
[Drop]
(I am not your shadow)
(I am not your ghost)
Scream it till your lungs burn out
Till the fear gets drowned by sound
(I am not your shadow)
(I am getting close)
Scream-sing every cracked doubt out
Till the pieces hit the ground
[Verse 2]
Every choice a little fracture
Every truth cuts like a blade
Friends are asking what’s the matter
I just say I’m “feeling strange”
I’ve been cleaning out the corners
Throwing habits in the fire
What if all that’s left tomorrow
Is a quiet
Sharper wire?
[Pre-Chorus]
All this shaking in my hands
As I pull apart my past life
If I step out of their plans
Will they still call me tonight?
[Chorus]
Break yourself open
Let it all pour out
If it has to hurt
Then scream it loud
Finding myself
Means losing you somehow
Break yourself open
(yeah, break yourself open now)
[Drop]
(I am not your shadow)
(I am not your ghost)
Scream it till your lungs burn out
Till the fear gets drowned by sound
(I am not your shadow)
(I am getting close)
Scream-sing every cracked doubt out
Till the pieces hit the ground
