Shattered

Silent, compliant, a role to play
An inner voice screamed to break away
A puzzle undone, a riddle untold
The search for myself, a story to unfold

I won't be a shattered reflection, just a distant void
I'll stand like a stronghold, not a jumbled trace

This lonely fortress, a sanctuary of my soul
Built with shards and blood, taking its toll
Doom is lurking, watching from the gate
Protect my heart from the grip of chaos

Scrap and clay, the bedrock of my being
Amidst the wreckage, I learned how to keep breathing
The world spins on an axis so frail
While everything around me starts to derail

I won't be a shattered reflection, just a distant void
I'll stand like a stronghold, not a jumbled trace

This lonely fortress, a sanctuary of my soul
Built with shards and blood, taking its toll
Doom is lurking, watching from the gate
Protect my heart from the grip of chaos

Broken mirrors, distorted views
The world is sinking 'neath a veil of silver
Piece by piece, nothing fits the frame
Fragmented, that's the truth of the world

I won't be a shattered reflection, just a distant void
I'll stand like a stronghold, not a jumbled trace

This lonely fortress, a sanctuary of my soul
Built with shards and blood, taking its toll
Doom is lurking, watching from the gate
Protect my heart from the grip of chaos
