[Verse] I felt the ground split beneath my feet A hollow scream

[Verse] I felt the ground split beneath my feet A hollow scream no one could meet Shards of silence tore through the air The weight of nothing was hard to bear [Verse 2] The mirror cracked when I saw my face A stranger staring back Out of place The nights were knives that cut too deep Even in dreams I couldn't sleep [Chorus] But I'm picking up the shattered pieces Every fragment of my broken soul The pain still lingers but it teaches How to let the light take control [Verse 3] I wore the scars like a second skin Each one a story of where I'd been The tears they carved rivers on my cheeks A flood of sorrow that felt like weeks [Bridge] But from the ashes A whisper came A voice that called me by my name It said "You are more than what you've lost The fire within can melt the frost" [Chorus] So I'm picking up the shattered pieces Every fragment of my broken soul The pain still lingers but it teaches How to let the light take control
