Shards of me

(Verse 1)
I’m a shadow on the edge of the world,
Screaming quiet into broken glass.
Every heartbeat feels like a war drum,
Pounding holes where the light won’t last.

(Pre-Chorus)
And I can’t breathe…
Underneath the weight of every promise I deceived.

(Chorus)
Tear me open, spill my soul on the floor,
I’m a ghost of the person you adored.
Hold me down while I’m breaking apart,
You’re the knife in my hands, you’re the shards in my heart.

(Verse 2)
All these voices, they collide in my skull,
Chasing answers that I’ll never find.
You can paint me as a saint or a sinner,
Either way, I’m losing my mind.

(Bridge) (screamed)
Are we destined just to rust in our bones?
Are we human or are we stones?
Drag me down, let me suffocate—
I’m already gone, it’s too late.

(Chorus)
Tear me open, spill my soul on the floor,
I’m a ghost of the person you adored.
Hold me down while I’m breaking apart,
You’re the knife in my hands, you’re the shards in my heart.

(Outro) (soft, echoing)
Shards of me… scatter in your hands.
Shards of me… you’ll never understand
