[intro-the world is imploding-] . . . Verse 1 The walls are closing in, I feel the pressure crack Every word I swallow finds its way baaahc -I show up bleeding- just to be ignored- Another open wound- another slammed door [drums blast for two bars] [sang but chicked]I try to connect but I choke on doubt [muffled fx]Say too much or I shut my mouth [stretching time]Every time I reach, it slips away [sound rotates half a bar ]Another promise rotting in decay Pre-Chorus [fractured confession] I’m screaming into faces that don’t hear Every step forward drags me back here Chorus [mirrors shattered reflecting life scattered across war] Broken again - face down in the dirt I give everything just to make it hurt I let them in, they cut me loose- Like I was something they could use I try to heal, I try to stand- But I’m shaking with these empty hands Every time I trust the end I’m fucking broken again Verse 2 Crowded room but I don’t belong Surrounded by noise, still dead and wrong I fake the grin, I play the role While something eats a hole in my soul I build myself just to fall apart Hammering nails through a fragile heart I keep thinking this time’s real But hope’s just another thing I feel Pre-Chorus I’m holding onto what’s already gone Another night proving me wrong Chorus Broken again, face down in the dirt I give everything just to make it hurt I let them in, they cut me loose Like I was something they could use I try to heal, I try to stand But I’m shaking with these empty hands Every time I trust the end I’m fucking broken again Bridge (Half-Time / Screamed) What’s wrong with me? Why don’t I stick? Too damaged to love Too hard to fix I open my chest Let them inside- They take what’s left And leave me to die- Breakdown [self-projected lies as false hope] I don’t need saving I don’t need faith I just need someone Who won’t walk away- -But everyone leaves Everyone’s gone I’m still breathing IM STILL FUCKING WROOOONNNGGGRRRHH [soul shattered solo - why am i the error in the code] [drums racing with bleeding tempo] FFFFFAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWK RRRRHHkt RRRRAA Final Chorus (Bigger / Gritty) Broken again, buried alive Still clawing my way just to survive I let them in, I let them see And they still walk away from me I try to heal, I try to stand But I’m bleeding through these empty hands Every time I trust the end I’m fucking broken again Outro (Slow / Heavy) Still breathing Still alone Still picking pieces Out of bone Broken again.
