Intro (spoken / airy) Everybody searching for peace… But we keep breaking ourselves into pieces. ⸻ Verse 1 I used to chase a piece of attention in the midnight glow A piece of validation from people I don’t even know A piece of somebody’s love just to quiet my mind But the pieces I was grabbing left the real me behind Tried to fill the silence with a piece of the night A piece of somebody’s body just to feel alright But when the morning hit, truth staring back at me A thousand little fragments where my heart should be ⸻ Pre-Chorus We keep cutting up the soul Trying to fill that hole But every piece we chase Leaves another empty space ⸻ Chorus I don’t want a piece of the world if it costs my soul Don’t need a piece of somebody just to feel whole Lay down the gun, that cold metal piece The only thing I’m really chasing is peace Peace in my spirit when the night runs deep Peace in my mind so my heart can sleep Not another piece to fill the crease I finally found my peace. ⸻ Verse 2 People want a piece of you when your light burns bright Take a piece of your time, take a piece of your life Everybody grabbing for a slice of your name While your spirit getting scattered in the middle of the game Seen a piece of paper start wars and greed Seen a metal piece make a mother weep But the strongest thing I ever learned to release Was the war in my chest just to make room for peace ⸻ Bridge Piece by piece I put my heart back together Piece by piece I learned storms don’t last forever Piece by piece I let the anger decrease Until all that remained… was peace. ⸻ Final Chorus I don’t want a piece of the world if it costs my soul Don’t need a piece of somebody just to feel whole Drop every weapon, every broken piece I’m building a life out of peace Peace in my spirit, peace in my brain Peace in my heart like a soft summer rain No more pieces scattered in the streets I’m finally living in peace.
