Hear me now?
[Intro] Can you hear? Can you hear me now? [Verse 1 - Aggressive throaty screams] I carve another scar into the mirror, watch it need Every promise that I swore just another mouth I feed Lies taste like copper, bittersweet between my teeth Drowning in the silence of the man I couldn't be Weight on my chest, I scream but nothing answers back Still pretending tomorrow's gonna cut me some slack Yesterday keeps dragging me right back into the storm [Pre-Chorus - Building, half-screamed] I'm breaking, the memories showing through Every piece of who I was is screaming "I miss you" [Chorus - Soaring clean vocals, harmonized] Can you hear me now through the havoc in my soul? Reaching through the destruction just to feel something whole All the love I tried to hold turned to cinders in my hands Begging for forgiveness in a language no one understands Twisted grace, pull me from this grave I'm still screaming out Your name… [Verse 2 - Rawer screams, faster] Ten years sober but the bottle still calls my name Every mirror shows a stranger playing a losing game Mom's coughing up her fears and I'm faking I'm okay While my daughter's voice keeps fading every day I built these walls with anger, now they're closing in on me The BPD tornado spinning everything I see I push away the ones I swear I need the most Then hate myself for disappearing like a ghost [Pre-Chorus - Building, half-screamed] I'm breaking, the voices showing through Every piece of who I was is screaming "I miss you" [Chorus - Soaring clean vocals, bigger harmonies] Can you hear me now through the havoc in my soul? Reaching through the destruction just to feel something whole All the love I tried to hold turned to cinders in my hands Begging for forgiveness in a language no one understands Twisted grace, pull me from this grave I'm still screaming out Your name… [Bridge / Breakdown - Heavy spoken-screamed over chugs] I’M NOT OKAY! I never was, I never will be Every high is just a longer fall Every clean day still feels like a lie Tear me open, let the real come through the fight! [Final Chorus - Massive, layered cleans + screamed backing] Can you hear me now through the wreckage of my life? Clawing through the static searching for a sign That all this pain wasn’t wasted, that the broken can still mend Twisted grace… carry what remains I’m still screaming… I’m still screaming out Your name… [Outro] Can you hear? Can you hear me now?
