[Verse 1] Inside the silence of my mind Two shadows learned to coexist One was made of fear and fire One still reached for tenderness Every wound became a language Every scar a secret door I kept running from the echo Of the child I was before [Pre-Chorus] If the soul can fracture slowly Can it learn to bloom again? Can the pieces of tomorrow Forgive the ruins of the pain? [Chorus] Split shell, breaking open in the light I was lost between the wrong and right Now I gather every shattered part of me Like stars returning to the sea No more hiding in the cold No more chains around my soul Through the sorrow, through the night I rebuild my inner sky [Verse 2] I walked through cities made of memories Empty voices calling back my name But healing isn’t erasing It’s learning not to fear the flame The universe inside my heartbeat Turned from chaos into sound And the hands I used for hiding Now reach upward from the ground [Bridge – atmospheric / philosophical] What is happiness If not acceptance without fear? What is freedom If the self cannot stay near? The shell was never meant to prison me Only to survive the storm And every broken piece I carried Was trying to become reborn [Final Chorus] Split shell, now the cracks let in the sun The war inside me finally undone I walk forward with the ghosts beside me still But they no longer hold the wheel From the ashes of division From the echoes of despair I found the quiet truth of living — Love was always waiting there [Outro] The shell divides The soul survives And through the fracture We become alive
