BPD

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - sparse piano chords, fragile whisper vocals, echoing reverb for isolation]

Shattered glass inside my chest, reflections twist and scream
I chase the shadows in my mind, lost in a fractured dream
Stuck inside this mirror's cage, staring out at me
Pleading eyes that no one sees, drowning silently

[Pre-Chorus - rising strings, building vocal intensity, subtle heartbeat pulse]

Triggers hide in every breath, I never see 'em come
Emotions crash like tidal waves, leaving me undone
They say it's just too much to hold, turn away and flee
But I'm clawing through the darkness, learning how to breathe

[Chorus - intense orchestral swell, powerful belted vocals with harmonies, driving slow-build drums]

This pain, it's borderline fire, burning through my soul
The most brutal storm you'll never know, but I'm taking control
No hands to hold, no voices call, just me against the night
I'm rising from the mirror's lie, fighting for the light
Yeah, I'm getting better... on my own

[Verse 2 - distorted low synths, raw emotional delivery with cracks in voice, faint rain SFX]

People glance but never dive, too scared to face the truth
"It's drama," they whisper, as I unravel in the booth
No maps, no guides, just echoes of what could have been
Forging paths through endless wars, where do I begin?

[Pre-Chorus - layered vocal echoes, intensifying percussion, tension coils like a spring]

I don't always know the spark that sets the blaze alive
But every scar's a lesson carved, teaching me to survive
They walk away, but I stay, piecing shards of me
In this lonely battlefield, finding strength to be

[Chorus - explosive full band eruption, soaring anthemic vocals, thunderous kicks for motivation]

This pain, it's borderline fire, burning through my soul
The most brutal storm you'll never know, but I'm taking control
No hands to hold, no voices call, just me against the night
I'm rising from the mirror's lie, fighting for the light
Yeah, I'm getting better... watch me rise

[Bridge - stripped acoustic guitar and piano, vulnerable intimate whispers building to a raw scream, motivational crescendo]

One day they'll see the warrior behind the broken gaze
The fire that forges diamonds from these endless, aching days
No more trapped in reflections, I'm breaking through the frame
Self-made from the ashes... I own my name

[Outro - fading ethereal pads, reverb-drenched harmonious vocals, slow decay with hopeful piano resolve]

I'm getting better... on my own
Staring back from the mirror now, stronger than I've known
Yeah, I'm getting better...
