The Painter's Confession

[Intro] [Verse 1] I’m tracing cracks on this old bedroom wall, Where the paint chips like the words I recall. Whispers of a younger me shout through the dust, A collage of shadows, of love and mistrust. [Chorus] These bare bones truth, these honest scars, I’m singing the silence between the stars. No sugarcoated rhymes to hide the bruise, Just a heart laid bare in a worn-out blues. [Verse 2] The mirror’s got stories etched deep in its skin, A face that’s learned how to bend with the wind. I traded masks for a voice that’s unplanned, Now I’m speaking in echoes, straight from the gland. [Chorus] These bare bones truth, these honest scars, I’m singing the silence between the stars. No sugarcoated rhymes to hide the bruise, Just a heart laid bare in a worn-out blues. [Bridge] The cracks in the pavement let the light pour through, A map of the damage that made me anew. I’ll stitch every wound with a thread that’s unseen, And wear all my ghosts like a crown for the queen. [Chorus] These bare bones truth, these honest scars, I’m singing the silence between the stars. No sugarcoated rhymes to hide the bruise, Just a heart laid bare in a worn-out blues. [Outro]
