Remnant

Shattered and torn, I’ve crashed and burned
But I'll rise from my knees to break through

Show me a sign
You disguise this comfort provided with hollow words
This wicked design, bastardized my feelings to improve and overcome

Boundaries created to shield me from pain
I’ll try and let you in to fix what's broken
Searching for answers, not knowing where to begin
To find the source of the fractures from within

Unknown destinies you speculate, hesitation you generate
Walls are coming down, I can’t feel the same
Feet upon the ground
Transcending the shame alone

Terrified of showing signs of weakness
I’ve put my mind through the darkest of nights
Lacerate feelings of hopeful escape
I black out the sun to hinder my sight

Decay, evaporate
Left to rot alone

Unknown destinies you speculate, hesitation you generate
Walls are coming down, I can’t feel the same
Feet upon the ground
Transcending the shame (alone)
Heal your mind through
Tethered hearts that thrive unclaimed
Feet upon the ground
Transcending the shame alone

I know you had the best intentions
I hope you’re free from the dissension
Repair this cracked foundation
Reconstruct me without all the pieces

Only through shame will I awaken the truth locked inside my chest
The only way I’ll rise from the ashes is setting fire to my own nest
Walls are coming down, I can’t feel the same
