Lyrics

Verse 1

Staring at the cracks inside my skull

Every thought's a needle, sharp and dull

Can't escape the voice that sounds like me

Screaming from the place I'll never be

Skin feels tight, like it don't fit right

Crawling through the static every night

Mirror shows a stranger in my face

Trapped inside this suffocating space

Pre-Chorus

I can feel it breaking

Everything is shaking

Can't tell what is real

Can't remember how to feel

Chorus

Fractured reflection staring back at me

Shattered pieces of who I used to be

I'm drowning in the silence, choking on the screams

Nothing's what it seems, nothing's what it seems

Verse 2

Medication numbs but never heals

Swallow down the pills, forget what's real

Everybody wants to fix what's wrong

But they don't hear the words inside this song

Childhood scars that never fade away

Buried deep but surfacing today

No one sees the war inside my head

Living but I'm feeling halfway dead

Pre-Chorus

I can feel it breaking

Everything is shaking

Can't tell what is real

Can't remember how to feel

Chorus

Fractured reflection staring back at me

Shattered pieces of who I used to be

I'm drowning in the silence, choking on the screams

Nothing's what it seems, nothing's what it seems

Breakdown

Why? Why? Why won't you leave me alone?

Why? Why? Why can't I find my way home?

Why? Why? Why does it hurt to exist?

Why? Why? Why do I still resist?

[[Interlude]]

Whispered

"I remember being small...

Feeling like the walls were closing in...

Nobody could hear me...

Nobody would listen...

And now I'm here...

Still screaming...

Still invisible..."

Drop

Bridge - Melody Change

Take it all away from me

Every broken memory

Rip it out, tear it down

Burn it to the ground

I don't want to feel this way

Trapped inside another day

Let me out, let me breathe

Set this prisoner free!

Final Chorus

Fractured reflection staring back at me

Shattered pieces of who I used to be

I'm drowning in the silence, choking on the screams

Nothing's what it seems, nothing's what it seems

Outro - Breakdown

I am the fracture

I am the break

I am the monster

That I create

Whispered

"...and I'm still here..."
