Lyrics
Daddy's heavy hand now my fist unplanned
Mama's silent tears turn my love to quicksand
No one taught me better just the rules of the land
So I crash like they crashed old scars rebranded
Church bells rang while the thunder expanded
Promises made but the weight was stranded
Lost in the echoes of a place disbanded
I wore their shadows like a badge unhanded
I'm a heartless fighter with a heart that's torn
Stacking up my armor I was battle-born
I've been running circles since the day I was sworn
To a legacy of bruises from a life forlorn
Climbing out but the rope's been abandoned
Ties that bind me burn a fire I hadn't
I try to mend but the cycle keeps candid
Breaking chains forged in pasts so slanted
Mirror shows someone I barely remanded
Trying to love where the hate was commanded
Pieces of me in the dust left stranded
Searching for hope in a world unexpanded
(oooooooooh)
Old hands made the fists that I keep in line
Old stories haunt my nights in these crooked vines
What if breaking free means I sever my design
Can I rewrite the script to a fate that's mine
(oooooooooh)
I'm a heartless fighter with a heart that's torn
Stacking up my armor I was battle-born
I've been running circles since the day I was sworn
To a legacy of bruises from a life forlorn
Mirror shows someone I barely knew
A stranger gazing back with a darker hue
Fragments scattered where love once grew
Walking on shadows in a midnight queue
Trying to love where the hate took its throne
Every heartbeat feels like a skipping stone
Echoes of trust in a voice overthrown
Caging the light I have never quite known
Stars are silent they watch me crawl
Fingers reaching for something small
A speck of grace to escape the sprawl
Can I rise or will I just fall?
Oh the pieces of me are adrift in the wind
Shattered and scattered where life has thinned
