Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) I feel the cracks beneath the surface spreading through my chest A thousand tiny fractures that I tried to hide at best I patch the pieces carefully so no one sees the seams But every time the light hits me, it shows what’s underneath Your eyes, they trace the damage like you’re studying a stain You say you see the beauty in the parts that still remain But I can feel the breaking, and I’m scared of what you’ll find If I go falling to the floor and leave the shards behind (Pre-Chorus) I held myself together just to keep from letting go But maybe falling into pieces is the only way I grow (Chorus) If I’m made of glass skin, maybe I was meant to break Maybe all these fragile pieces weren’t a flaw, but what it takes If I shatter in your hands, don’t try to fix what’s splitting through Let the fragments fall and scatter Maybe I look better broken too (Verse 2) I wore a polished version so the world would see me shine A reflection built of pressure, not a truth that once was mine You say that there’s a light in me that’s trying to get out But every glow feels painful, like I’m burning from the doubt If I’m a work of art, I’m one that wasn’t built to last A stained-glass imitation of a future in my past Maybe I’m not damaged — maybe I was never whole Still learning how to hold myself without losing control (Pre-Chorus 2) I kept myself in one piece just to prove that I was strong But maybe strength is learning how to break and still belong (Chorus) If I’m made of glass skin, maybe I was meant to break Maybe all these fragile pieces weren’t a flaw, but what it takes If I shatter in your hands, don’t try to fix what’s splitting through Let the fragments fall and scatter Maybe I look better broken too (Bridge) Let me fall apart slow Let the edges finally show If there’s healing in the ruin Maybe this is how I grow (soft, strained) Don’t save me from the breaking… (Break — harsh accents) Let it break— Don’t put me back together Let it break— I won’t be glass forever (Final Chorus) If I’m made of glass skin, maybe breaking sets me free I was holding onto versions never meant to stay with me If I shatter in your hands, don’t try to make me something new Let the pieces fall and scatter I’m not afraid of breaking through (Outro) Maybe I was meant to break Just to learn what I could take

male, metal A calm, exhausted surrender to breaking. Not dramatic. Not angry. Not begging. Just… resigned
