[Verse] Broken upon broken Shards of self I thought I knew Illusions melting in the rain Each crack revealing something true [Prechorus] What I held I couldn’t keep What I chased It slipped too deep [Chorus] All things before me Fading Gone All things behind me Clear as dawn In the moment I stood still And in that stillness I lost my will [Verse 2] The mirrors whispered back my name A thousand faces not the same The shadow laughed The light withdrew What I was I never knew [Chorus] All things before me Fading Gone All things behind me Clear as dawn In the moment I stood still And in that stillness I lost my will [Bridge] I reached for nothing Nothing stayed A ghost of time that wouldn’t fade The air grew thick The silence loud I disappeared into the crowd [Verse] Broken upon broken A mirror cracked in the night Shards of self Scattered light I found self but it slipped my hand Like water through desert sand [Prechorus] The illusion melted It burned and faded I stood alone [Chorus] All things before me Leaving delusions behind All things behind me As clear as the sky aligned In the moment I knew I knew I lost I knew I lost [Verse 2] The echoes of what I was Still haunt the corners of my mind A ghost wearing my face Running in circles Out of time Truth whispered I turned blind [Chorus] All things before me Leaving delusions behind All things behind me As clear as the sky aligned In the moment I knew I knew I lost I knew I lost [Bridge] What’s ahead is sharp What’s behind is haze I’m walking this tightrope of empty days Each step is a promise I break Each breath is a life I fake Broken upon broken verse of self I found self The illusion melted away All things before me leaving delusions behind All things behind me is clear as what was ahead In the moment I knew I lost within me The lie that was life that I lived Emotions that I thought were real seems so empty and comparison The blessing of the time shared in life past Meant for another time all that melted away As a new comprehension of Love births within me The Wonder of all things became a riffling vibration of understanding Standing upon the Hill of stuff I realized I was the hill Underneath the tree I realized I was the leaves the grass below my feet The pastor by waves is greetings in my heart open to a new place As fulfillment within the whole birth sensitivities The tears pour readily for my eyes before I even knew I was crying Concern on those faces you passed by Not realizing that my heart so full of love That it pains in a burning way With an energy that cannot be contained So how am I supposed to explain? Experience can't even be brought until realization of any who haven't felt it I new then that this was the beginning And not but new laid before me For how could anything be the same after this [Verse] Broken upon broken Shards of me in the open A mirror cracked A fleeting token Of who I was Who I’ll never be [Prechorus] The illusion melted It fell A story I could never tell [Chorus] All things before me Fading fast All things behind me Shadows cast In the moment I knew I knew I lost I lost myself to the cost [Verse 2] Delusions leaving Like smoke in air Truth was naked I stood bare No lies to hold No dreams to wear Just me Just me Standing there [Chorus] All things before me Fading fast All things behind me Shadows cast In the moment I knew I knew I lost I lost myself to the cost [Bridge] Clarity’s cruel It’s sharp It’s bright No room to run No place to fight The light’s too heavy The dark’s too light But I keep walking Through the night
