Born in the dirt, fists from the cradle, Daddy’s rage, mama’s silence, my first betrayal. Scraped my knees on concrete dreams that never held, Hustlin’ shadows for a dollar, stomach knotted, hell. They called me worthless, eyes like daggers in my back, Family feasts where I was the punchline, the crack. Laughed through the bruises, swallowed the screams, Built walls from their words, now I’m chokin’ on the seams. Every step a stumble, every breath a fight, Chasin’ ghosts of approval in the dead of night. [Chorus] I’m shattered, bones breakin’ in this empty room, Echoes of your voices, but you’re gone too soon. Loneliness claws deep, rips the air from my lungs, Missin’ the ones who swore forever, now I’m undone. Where are you? Left me bleedin’ on the floor, Judged me broken, walked out, slammed the door. I’m shattered… yeah, I’m shattered inside, Screamin’ your names, but the silence replies. *(Ad-lib: Why’d you leave? God, why’d you leave me like this?) [Verse 2] Grew up grindin’, nine-to-five turned to never enough, Bills like chains, draggin’ me through the rough. Sisters whisper “loser,” brothers turn away cold, Love from the ones closest? Just lies they told. Prayed for a hand up, got kicked while I crawled, Depression’s my shadow, eatin’ me raw, unthawed. Tried to rise, they pinned me with pity and scorn, “Get your shit together,” like my pain wasn’t born. Nights alone starin’ at cracks in the wall, Wonderin’ if I’m the curse, or just cursed to fall. [Chorus] I’m shattered, bones breakin’ in this empty room, Echoes of your voices, but you’re gone too soon. Loneliness claws deep, rips the air from my lungs, Missin’ the ones who swore forever, now I’m undone. Where are you? Left me bleedin’ on the floor, Judged me broken, walked out, slammed the door. I’m shattered… yeah, I’m shattered inside, Screamin’ your names, but the silence replies. *(Ad-lib: Feels like dyin’… every damn day) [Verse 3/Bridge] Now the house is a tomb, dust on the frames of your face, Phone silent as graves, no trace, no grace. I clawed through the wreckage, rebuilt from the ash, But the hole in my chest? It’s a permanent gash. Miss your laugh in the chaos, your hand in the storm, The warmth that I killed with my flaws, deformed. God, if you’re listenin’, why’d you let ‘em slip away? Left me paralyzed in the pourin’ rain. Fists to the mirror, blood on the glass, Howlin’ your names like a wolf in the past— (Build: Voice cracks, yells) I need you! Come back! Don’t leave me like trash! But the wind just laughs, and I’m drownin’ in black. [Final Chorus/Outro] I’m shattered… (shattered, yeah) bones breakin’ slow, Echoes fadin’ softer, but the ache won’t go. Loneliness wins, carves me hollow and thin, Missin’ you kills me… where do I begin? Where are you? (Where are you?) Left me here to rot, Judged and forgotten, tied in the knot. I’m shattered inside… (I’m just so… shattered) Screamin’ silent… alone in the night. (Fade: Echoing “Why’d you leave?” over decaying piano, breaths heavy, unresolved)
