[Intro – Spoken, over slow, heavy rain and a broken piano chord] This is for the ones who live with a war inside. Who wake up not knowing who they are. Who love too hard, then push too far. Who feel everything and nothing at the same time. This is the voice of the fractured. This is the song of the shattered. [Verse 1 – Slow, breathless, confessional] I wake up and I don't know my name Some days I'm fire, some days I'm shame I wear a mask to face the day Another mask to hide the pain away I am the actor on a stage I am the script, I am the rage I laugh when I'm screaming, I smile when I'm dead I carry the weight of the words left unsaid One moment I'm soaring, the next I'm below I'm the fire, the ice, the ebb and the flow I am many, I am none I am the war that is never won [Chorus – Aching, anthemic, raw] Shattered glass, I'm scattered wide A thousand faces I hide inside I am the storm, I am the calm I am the broken, I am the bomb Shattered glass, I cut my hands Trying to piece together the man That I was before the fall That I was before it all [Verse 2 – The Fear of Abandonment] I push you away so you can't leave I hurt you first so I can grieve The loss before it's even gone I write the ending before the dawn I love you more than words can say Then I run away the very next day I'm terrified of being left So I become the one who's theft Of love, of trust, of everything I am the one who feels the sting Of ghosts that haven't even died I'm the one who runs and hides [Verse 3 – The Rage and the Void] I feel the rage boil in my blood I try to control it, but it's a flood I scream at the ones who try to stay I push them further and further away Then I collapse into the void The emptiness, the overjoyed Of feeling nothing, feeling numb The hollow drum, the silent hum I crave the chaos, crave the noise Because silence feels like dying toys I break the glass, I cut the skin To feel something real within [Verse 4 – The Identity Shifts] I don't know who I am today I don't know who I was yesterday I change my face to fit the room I change my voice to avoid the doom Of being seen, of being known Of being loved and then alone I mirror you so you'll stay near But I disappear when you get near The real me, the one below The one who doesn't even know If I exist, if I'm alive If I can truly survive [Verse 5 – The Damage Done] I've hurt the ones I love the most I've burned the bridges, I've become a ghost To the ones who tried to stay I pushed them all away I'm sorry for the things I've done I'm sorry for the war I've won And lost and won again inside This broken mind I try to hide I don't want to hurt, I don't want to bleed I just want someone to see me Not the mask, not the game Not the fragments of my name [Bridge – Stripped back, raw, vulnerable] I am the child who was never held I am the wound that never healed I am the scream that no one heard I am the silent, broken word I am the mask, I am the face I am the empty, hollow space I am the one who tries to cope I am the flicker of fading hope I am the storm, I am the calm I am the shattered, I am the psalm Of a broken boy who learned to fight To survive the endless night [Verse 6 – The Hope] But even in the shattered glass There's still a light that seems to last A flicker through the cracks and scars A whisper from the broken stars I'm still here, I'm still alive I'm still learning to survive I've found a hand that wouldn't leave A heart that helped me to believe That I am more than just the pain That I can stand in the pouring rain And not break, not fall, not fade I can be the light I made [Final Chorus – Intense, layered, hopeful] Shattered glass, I'm scattered wide A thousand faces I hide inside But I am learning to be still To climb the mountain, to heal the will Shattered glass, I cut my hands But I'm piecing together the man That I was always meant to be That I am finally learning to see [Outro – Spoken, over fading piano, voice steady] I am the one who feels too much. I am the one who hides inside. I am the one who still stands up. Even when I want to die. I am the broken glass. But I still catch the light. I still catch the light. I am not my disorder. I am not my pain. I am the survivor. I am the one who stays. I am the one who stays. [Outro Vocal – Sung/spoken, slow, fading] Shattered glass I still catch the light Shattered glass I still catch the light I still catch the light.
