Shards in My Hands
Lyrics
Verse 1
I wake up bleeding inside
With a grin I can’t defend
Same old war in my head
Same old knife in my hand
I say I’m fine, I say I’m fine
But the cracks keep showing through
Every time I chase the dark
It comes back straight for you
Pre-Chorus
I keep digging through the floor
Like there’s gold beneath the pain
But the more I feed the fire
The more it calls my name
Chorus
I hurt myself again
I hurt myself again
I wear the bruises proud
Then crawl back underground
I hurt myself again
I hurt myself again
Say my name, drag me back
Before I disappear in black
Verse 2
Mirror throws it back at me
A stranger with my face
Hands clenched tight around regret
Trying hard to leave this place
I’ve got thunder in my lungs
And a ghost behind my eyes
Every promise that I break
Makes a monster in disguise
Pre-Chorus
I keep digging through the floor
Like there’s gold beneath the pain
But the more I feed the fire
The more it calls my name
Chorus
I hurt myself again
I hurt myself again
I wear the bruises proud
Then crawl back underground
I hurt myself again
I hurt myself again
Say my name, drag me back
Before I disappear in black
Bridge
If I drop, don’t let me stay
In the place I can’t outrun
Pull me up through all this ash
Till the worst of me is done
Final Chorus
I hurt myself again
I hurt myself again
I’ve been my own worst war
But I want more than scars
I hurt myself again
I hurt myself again
Say my name, drag me back
Before I disappear in black
