Verse 1 Every morning, I wake up and try to pretend, That the weight of the world won’t break me again. I put on a smile, but inside I’m a mess, Trying to find strength in this tangled distress. Pre-Chorus I see my family, their worried eyes stare, Wondering if they can feel all the weight that I bear. Each small victory feels like a fragile win, But I keep pushing forward, fighting within. Chorus It’s cracking my shell, can you hear the sound? Despair’s leaking out, like I’m falling down. One step forward, but it feels like two back, When will it end? I’m lost in this track. I’m not okay, but I’m learning to fight, Holding on tight, searching for light. Verse 2 I glance in the mirror, searching for a sign, Wondering if the battle will ever be mine. The laughter feels distant, like a song out of tune, But deep down I know, I’ll find my way soon. Pre-Chorus Each small victory feels like a fragile win, But I keep pushing forward, fighting within. I know I’m not alone; there’s a strength we all share, Together we rise, lighter than air. Chorus It’s cracking my shell, can you hear the sound? Despair’s leaking out, like I’m falling down. One step forward, but it feels like two back, When will it end? I’m lost in this track. I’m not okay, but I’m learning to fight, Holding on tight, searching for light. Bridge (Build-up with layered harmonies) So here we stand, with our hearts on our sleeves, Finding our power in the stories we weave. Together we’ll rise, lift each other high, Through the cracks in our shells, we’ll learn how to fly. Chorus It’s cracking my shell, can you hear the sound? Despair’s leaking out, like I’m falling down. One step forward, but it feels like two back, When will it end? I’m lost in this track. I’m not okay, but I’m learning to fight, Holding on tight, searching for light. Outro It’s cracking my shell, but I’m finding my way, Learning to stand, come what may. I’m not okay, but that’s part of the climb, Each step that I take, I’ll be just fine.
