///*****/// [Verse 1 -start on I carry then bring in piano on truths] I carry truths I never speak Behind the mask I wear each week I listen close, but hold my own I listen close, but hold my own [Pre-Chorus] I shape my words to fit the air Soften edges, hide the tear Afraid the real will break the chain And leave me standing in the rain [Chorus] In fractured dawn, I search for peace The pieces scattered, no release I give away what I need most To keep the ghosts from coming close [Verse 2] I open doors in a midnight place Share the light in careful ways The best of me, the safe to show But hold the rest where shadows grow [Pre-Chorus] I twist the path to keep it calm Avoid the storm, avoid the harm Afraid the full will stand alone In silence carved from stone [Chorus] In fractured dawn, I search for peace The pieces scattered, no release I give away what I need most To keep the ghosts from coming close [Bridge] One day the words might break the chain No more hiding from the pain No more bending till I fade Into the light I’ve always craved [Final Chorus] In fractured dawn, I’m finding peace The pieces coming back to me I kept the light I gave away And found the strength to face the day [Outro] Let go the weight… one breath at a time The dawn is real And it’s finally mine
