Shatter The Hourglass

V6

[Intro, soft female whisper, piano only] I heard you... I heard every grain fall. You don't have to carry this alone anymore. [Verse 1, female rap, boom bap flow] You said the sand keeps rising, walls are closing in, You said they used your words, they piled it on your skin. I heard you in the dark, every crack in your voice, You thought you had no choice, but im here, you got a choice. I see the man behind the weight that you carry, I see the heart that still beats, still fights, still ain't buried. You opened up your life, they threw it in your face, But I won't be another shovel, I won't add to the weight. [Pre-Chorus, building, rising vocal] So if the glass won't open, If the sand won't stop, Then I'll be the one who breaks it, I won't let it lock... [Chorus, powerful high female vocals, anthemic] I'LL SHATTER THE HOURGLASS! BREAK EVERY WALL THAT'S HOLDING YOU! EVERY GRAIN THAT TRIED TO BURY YOU, I'LL TURN IT BACK TO DUST FOR YOU! YOU'RE NOT TRAPPED, YOU'RE NOT ALONE, I'M RIGHT HERE, I'M HOLDING ON! THE SAND CAN FALL, LET IT FALL, I'LL BREAK THE GLASS, I'LL BREAK IT ALL! [Verse 2, female rap, softer but determined] You twist the key, you ride to feel free, But you don't have to run to breathe when you're with me. Viking blood, yeah I know, you were forged in pain, But even steel needs someone to call out its name. So let me be your air when it's harder to breathe, Let me be your hands when your hands start to shake. I understand the fight, I understand the fall, But I won't watch you fade behind that wall. [Bridge, highest note, emotional scream-singing] IF I HAVE TO FIGHT, THEN I'LL FIGHT! IF I HAVE TO BLEED, THEN I'LL BLEED! I WON'T LET THIS GLASS DEFINE YOU, YOU'RE COMING BACK TO ME! [Outro, soft, piano only, whisper] The sand keeps falling... But the glass is gone... You're free now... You're free now.
