Strong Enough to Shatter

💢 [Verse 1 – Slow, gritty, restrained]

You called me strong like it was praise

Like I’m your hero in a hollow cage

You saw the cracks and still smiled proud

But never heard the way I screamed out loud

You said, “You’re brave,” while I bled alone

Held my breath and turned to stone

I kept my voice behind my teeth

Now hear me choke on everything beneath

⸻

😤 [Pre-Chorus – Building pressure]

I carried all your silence

Stacked it high like violence

You loved me calm, not honest

Now feel the storm you promised

⸻

💀 [Chorus – Explodes, heavy riff, emotional scream-singing]

🎤 I was strong enough to shatter

🎤 Held the weight ’til I broke the floor

🎤 You called it strength—

🎤 But I was a war

🎤 I was bleeding through the plaster

🎤 Smiling like it didn’t hurt

🎤 You said I never cracked—

🎤 Then watched me burst

⸻

🧨 [Verse 2 – Faster, angrier]

I broke in ways you’ll never see

Screamed in silence so perfectly

You loved the way I “held it in”

But I was drowning deep within

Now I don’t owe you quiet grace

I’m done pretending in your space

You liked me strong, you liked me still

Well now I break and I break to kill

⸻

🚫 [Pre-Chorus – More defiant]

You built me out of damage

Then called it high advantage

But I was glass with pressure lines—

Shattered perfect every time

⸻

🔥 [Chorus – Repeat, full force]

🎤 I was strong enough to shatter

🎤 Held the weight ’til I broke the floor

🎤 You called it strength—

🎤 But I was a war

🎤 I was bleeding through the plaster

🎤 Smiling like it didn’t hurt

🎤 You said I never cracked—

🎤 Then watched me burst

⸻

💣 [Bridge – Full SCREAM breakdown]

DON’T PRAISE ME

FOR HOW I SUFFERED

DON’T SMILE

WHILE I’M SMOTHERED

YOU WANT STRONG?

YOU GOT A BOMB

I’M NOT YOUR MIRACLE—

I’M GONE

⸻

🩸 [Final Chorus – Slower, melodic build into final scream]

🎤 I was strong enough to shatter

🎤 And you loved me ‘cause I broke just right

🎤 Now there’s nothing left to gather…

🎤 So goodnight.

🎤 Goodnight.

🎤 (Good—FUCKING—night.)
