Rejkal - Breaking free (Mellow)

Shards of my psyche scatter on the floor Each fragment a version I can't ignore Piecing together a puzzle of pain Trying to find which part should remain In the labyrinth of my mind, I roam Searching for a self to call my own Murmurs of doubt in every turn Whispers of truths I've yet to learn I was trapped but now I'm free I was blind but now I see The chains that bound me were my own design Breaking free, but freedom's not benign Voices clash in a cacophony of thought Battling for control of the war I've fought One screams for chaos, one begs for peace In this internal struggle, there's no release I was trapped but now I'm free I was blind but now I see The chains that bound me were my own design Breaking free, but freedom's not benign In the mirror, a stranger stares back A mosaic of selves I'm trying to unpack Which face is real, which one's the lie? In this masquerade, who am I? Tear it down, build it up Destroy the old, create anew From the ruins of who I was A new self emerges, but at what cost? I was trapped but now I'm free I was blind but now I see The chains that bound me were my own design Breaking free, but freedom's not benign Now I walk the razor's edge Between the self I fear and the one I dread In the silence of my liberation I hear the whispers of my own creation Am I the sculptor or the clay? In this battle, who will hold sway?
