BROKEN (VERSE 1) You know I’m not the perfect man (man) But at least I have courage to stand up again And fight my way through to the end (the end) Shaded clouds of mockery (mockery) Distant edges of a broken door (of a broken door) (PRE-CHORUS) (with synth swell) You say it’s the same, cuz the broken pieces remain Judging with looks, you can’t hide your books, cuz you went through the same (CHORUS) (drums kick in heavy, strings soaring) BROKEN… I am not broken… The pieces they lie, but that’s just the light Reflecting the fight that I have left inside BROKEN… I am not broken… Even in the cracks, the fire still glows I wear every scar like a crown I chose (VERSE 2) I’ve tasted the dirt from the falls I’ve taken Felt the weight of the world on a heart that was shaking Whispers in the dark saying “stay down, you’re done” But something in my blood says the war’s just begun Shattered mirrors show a thousand defeated eyes But I look past the fractures and see the sunrise (PRE-CHORUS) (synth + building strings) They point at the cracks like that’s all I’ll ever be But they don’t see the blood, sweat, and fire in me (CHORUS) (full band, heavy drums) BROKEN… I am not broken… The pieces they lie, but that’s just the light Reflecting the fight that I have left inside BROKEN… I am not broken… Even in the cracks, the fire still glows I wear every scar like a crown I chose (BRIDGE) (half-time, orchestral strings take over, atmospheric + emotional) Let the rain fall… let it wash me clean Every tear I cried carved a new seam I’m not what was taken, I’m what remains A mosaic of pain… turned into flames (drums slowly build back in) I rise… I rise… through the smoke and the lies Watch me turn these ruins into my sky (FINAL CHORUS) (explosive, strings + distorted guitars + thunderous drums) BROKEN… I am NOT broken! The pieces were never the end of my story They’re the map to the man who reclaimed his glory BROKEN… I am not broken! Let the whole world see these beautiful scars I’m stronger than the pain, brighter than the dark! (OUTRO) (strings linger, drums fade into cinematic finish) Not broken… not broken… I’m wide awake… and I’m still fighting Not broken… (final powerful chord with strings and drums hit)
