Glitter in the Cracks

[Verse 1]

Got mascara smudged on a Monday train,

Still showed up like champagne rain.

Bills and dreams, both in my purse,

And a playlist louder than the worst.

Laughed too hard, cried on cue,

Took the hits but kept the view.

I ain’t flawless, but I’m whole—

Even diamonds start as coal.

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah, I get tired, I get low,

But I still dress like disco-glow.

Life ain’t clean, but it’s mine to spin—

I dance it out, I let it in.

[Chorus]

There’s glitter in the cracks,

Joy in the comeback.

I might bend, but I don’t break—

I’ve got rhythm in my ache.

Living like a mirrored ball,

Reflecting even when I fall.

I’m not a mess, I’m just complex—

With glitter in the cracks.

[Verse 2]

I’ve said yes when I should’ve fled,

Built my peace where chaos led.

Not every win comes with a cheer—

Sometimes brave just means you're here.

But I keep dancing past the doubt,

Spin my fears until they shout

“You’re still here, and that’s enough,”

So I shimmy through the rough.

[Bridge – disco breakdown, half-sung/half-spoken]

Confetti in my coffee cup,

Hope’s the glitter I throw up.

Not perfect, but persistent, babe—

Dancing like I own the stage.

[Final Chorus]

There’s glitter in the cracks,

Strength in how I bounce back.

I won’t hide my softer side—

That’s the sparkle I won’t deny.

Living like a mirrored ball,

Reflecting even when I fall.

This is life, and this is me—

Dancing flawed, but fiercely free.
