[Verse 1] I was always broken In a broken home, in a broken life With something shattered deep inside me While I kept telling everyone I'm fine I learned so well how to hide it How to smile when nothing felt right Nobody wanted to hear the truth So I learned to keep it out of sight And if nobody wanted the broken parts I stopped waiting for them to care I carried every piece along with me And learned to live with what was there [Pre-Chorus] Every crack they left behind me Broke the picture into more But when I finally held the pieces up I saw colors I hadn't seen before [Chorus] I made a kaleidoscope From everything that broke Every shattered little piece of me Still catches light somehow You thought the cracks would ruin me But look at what they became Some people break beneath the cracks I just cover mine in glitter I took a bunch of broken glass And put it in a kaleidoscope I watched all the colors come alive Fuck it, that's art [Verse 2] Some pieces never fitted And some edges stayed too sharp Some came from places I walked away from And left exactly where they are I don't need to make them perfect I don't need to hide the lines Every crack became a pattern When I finally held it to the light I stopped waiting for an answer Stopped believing help would come There are things you cannot fix by staying So eventually, I was gone [Pre-Chorus] I had enough glue to hold it And stubbornness to spare Nobody ever tried to fix me So I stopped waiting for them to care [Chorus] I made a kaleidoscope From everything that broke Every shattered little piece of me Still catches light somehow You thought the cracks would ruin me But look at what they became Some people break beneath the cracks I just cover mine in glitter [Bridge] I didn't need a hero I didn't need a knight I just needed enough fucking glue To make something of my life Nobody came to save me And eventually I knew I could stop waiting at that door And choose what I would do [Melodic Rock Break] All the pieces they once hated Every color called too much I took everything they left me with And made it something they can't touch [Final Chorus] I made a kaleidoscope From everything that broke All the pieces they once hated Now make colors of my own Turn me around and watch them change Every pattern rearranged Every crack they left behind Makes another color shine I was always broken But I fixed what no one would I didn't put me back together— I made something better from the shards [Outro] Broken home, broken life Broken glass still catches light Fuck it. That's art.
