[Intro]
[whispered vocals]
Can You hear me?
Or am I talking
To the dark I made?
[Verse 1]
Teeth on glass
Every breath feels jagged
Deadline halo
Crushing down my neck
Smile for the cameras
Hands still start to shake
I built this prison
Brick by quiet break
[Pre-Chorus]
I bite my tongue till it tastes like rust
Say "I'm fine" till the words turn dust
But in the corner where the silence screams
I feel You tearing at the seams
[Chorus]
I’m shattering
Shattering
Cracks in the mask I’ve worn so long
I’m staggering
Staggering
Drowning in doubt
But I still hold on
God
Are You there in the ruin I became?
If mercy is real
Let it fall like rain
I’m shattering
Shattering
Just to be remade
[Verse 2]
Steel in my chest
Still it bends and buckles
Voices like vultures
Picking at my hope
I hear my heartbeat
Pounding out a prayer
“I can’t fake it
Are You even there?”
[Pre-Chorus]
I throw my rage at an empty sky
Rip these wounds till the truth can rise
In the echo of my brittle cries
I swear I hear a steady voice reply
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[guttural screams]
Rip out the rot
Tear through the shame
Burn my failures
Brand my name
[low clean vocal]
Not by my strength
Not by my hands
I fall to pieces
You help me stand
[crescendo]
If breaking is the only way
Then break me back to grace today
If fire is the narrow road
Then walk me through the burning cold
[Chorus]
