[Verse 1]
I’m a broken man
Tryna sweep up glass in my own hands
Cut deep every time that I bend down
Still bleed on the ones that stay around
I was raised where the yelling never stopped
Where a hug felt the same as a headlock
Love came as a threat, not a lifeline
So I learned how to lie just to buy time
[Chorus]
I’m a broken man tryna put back pieces
This puzzle can’t fit with all these missing secrets
They stole my heart, left holes in the sequence
Raised by demons, I turned into what beat me
I don’t even see all the souls that I’m cheating
Step on their trust, keep walking, keep bleeding
If I don’t feel it, I don’t have to mean it
Raised by demons, raised by demons (yeah)
[Verse 2]
I don’t notice tears till the floor slick
Don’t notice fear till the door hits
You said “you hurt me,” I heard “more, quick”
Guess my mercy got burned with the doorstep
Taught pride like a shield I could hide in
Taught cold like a coat I could die in
Every “sorry” from me sound violent
Like I’m smashing every word into silence
[Chorus]
I’m a broken man tryna put back pieces
This puzzle can’t fit with all these missing secrets
They stole my heart, left holes in the sequence
Raised by demons, I turned into what beat me
I don’t even see all the souls that I’m cheating
Step on their trust, keep walking, keep bleeding
If I don’t feel it, I don’t have to mean it
Raised by demons, raised by demons
[Bridge]
How I heal what I can’t even name?
How I change when my hurt feel safe?
If I face what I am, do I break?
If I face who I’ve hurt, are they late? (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m a broken man tryna put back pieces
This puzzle can’t fit with all these missing secrets
They stole my heart, left holes in the sequence
Raised by demons, I turned into what beat me
I don’t even see all the souls that I’m cheating
Step on their trust, keep walking, keep bleeding
If I don’t feel it, I don’t have to mean it
Raised by demons, raised by demons
