**[Verse 1]** I was six feet down in the black water Pressure bending every bone They were writing eulogies in the margins Betting I would sink like stone But I held my breath through the longest winter Let the current pull me through When the undertow said "let go" I dug my fingers into truth **[Pre-Chorus]** So I stopped hiding all my fractures Stopped painting over what was real The cracks are where the light gets in now And the breaking's what helped me heal **[Chorus]** I'm a kintsugi heart Gold running through the jagged lines More precious for the parts That shattered in another life They said I'd never be the same But fixed is better than brand new I'm stronger at the break These scars shine brighter than they knew I'm a kintsugi heart **[Verse 2]** There's a holiness in morning coffee In a room where nothing shakes I used to chase the rush of disaster Now I pray for boring days This sanctuary I've been building Stone by stone from what remained Safety isn't weakness It's the rarest kind of grace **[Pre-Chorus]** So I stopped running from the stillness Stopped mistaking peace for fear The quiet is a cathedral And the silence means I'm here **[Chorus]** I'm a kintsugi heart Gold running through the jagged lines More precious for the parts That shattered in another life They said I'd never be the same But fixed is better than brand new I'm stronger at the break These scars shine brighter than they knew **[Bridge]** I am not ruined, I am refined I am not broken, I'm redesigned Every fracture, every fault line Made me holy, made me mine I am not ruined, I am refined I am not broken, I'm redesigned Wear my history like a crown Built my kingdom from the ground **[Chorus - Final]** I'm a kintsugi heart Gold running through the jagged lines More precious for the parts That shattered in another life They said I'd never be the same And thank God they were right, it's true I'm stronger at the break These scars shine brighter than they knew **[Outro]** *(Soft, atmospheric)* In the dark, the gold still gleams In the dark, the gold still gleams I'm a kintsugi heart And the light lives in the seams
