Finding A Piece Of Me

Nu-Metal Trap, Energetic, Live With The Audience Singing Along

V6-MINI

Verse 1)
I spent a lifetime renting space inside my head
Living out the things they wished I’d said
Tracing lines on glass just to see if I fit in
Apologizing quiet for the skin I’m in
Forgetting how it felt to breathe without a cue
Trading every shade of me for something they approved
(Pre-Chorus)
And it breaks your chest to realize halfway through
You built a cage out of what they wanted you to do
Yeah, you choke it down, keep the peace, play the part
While it quietly breaks your own damn heart
(Chorus)
'Cause I forgot my own name in the rush of the noise
Drowned out my blood with a hundred dead voices
I’m digging deep through the ashes and the hurt
To find the piece of me that’s worth more than the dirt
And I’m standing in the light where the healing can begin
And I don’t give a damn what they think of who I am
(Verse 2)
Looked in the glass and couldn't find the eyes I knew
Just a ghost of everything I used to try to do
Every expectation like a shackle on the wrist
Dragging through the mud for a love that don't exist
Lord, it’s exhausting trying to keep the surface clean
When you're starving out the soul that lives beneath the screen
(Pre-Chorus)
And it breaks your chest to realize halfway through
You built a cage out of what they wanted you to do
Yeah, you choke it down, keep the peace, play the part
While it quietly breaks your own damn heart
(Chorus)
'Cause I forgot my own name in the rush of the noise
Drowned out my blood with a hundred dead voices
I’m digging deep through the ashes and the hurt
To find the piece of me that’s worth more than the dirt
And I’m standing in the light where the healing can begin
And I don’t give a damn what they think of who I am
(Bridge)
My hands are scarred from holding on to things that slipped away
My throat is tight from all the words I was too scared to say
Let the judgment fall, let them look, let them stare
They never walked the miles of the heavy cross I bear
I’m dropping the weight...
Yeah, I’m letting it go...
(Guitar / Fiddle Instrumental Break - Slow & Piercing)
(Chorus)
'Cause I forgot my own name in the rush of the noise
Drowned out my blood with a hundred dead voices
I’m digging deep through the ashes and the hurt
To find the piece of me that’s worth more than the dirt
And I’m standing in the light where the healing can begin
And I don’t give a damn what they think of who I am
(Outro)
Yeah, I remember me now.
No more hiding in the crowd.
Just this scarred-up heart and these two hands...
And I don’t give a damn.
No, I don’t give a damn.
Yeah.
How does this deeper, more raw direction feel to you?
