I can feel the tremor in my chest

Like a spark beneath the wreck I've left

Every breath that I breathe, every word that I speak

With a little more time, I'm a little less weak

I hear the echoes of the life I almost lost

Shadows of myself beneath the cost

Fractures let a little light bleed in

I'm learning who I am beneath my skin

For as long as I can remember

I've known you by other names

I've hated you, berated you

Called you a monster

Was the monster myself

All this time

I never asked but

You always answered to the

Call of a child but I can't see his face

He wears a smile while he looks to escape his fate

A black hole, blooms, born in his chest

You better stay the course

You better stay the course

And pray for forgiveness

Don't let me fade back into the dark

I've carried the weight but it won't leave a mark

Scattered voices pulling me through

I'm not whole yet… still found the truth

I never believed, never believed

Through all this pain, I'm breathing

You'll never know love like this again

The world is cold and shrouded in darkness and sin

I wore the blame like it was the truth but the voice inside my head was never you

Don't forsake all these gifts you've been given

Don't turn your back on your father in heaven

Heaven never reached me down here

Ethereal, made material need

Made apparent from the scars that still bleed

You held my hand when I needed you most

I loved a life I nearly lost

One less step would never pay the cost (pay the cost)

I didn't realize

I was the host

Just a walking ghost

Don't let me fade back into the dark

I've carried the weight but it won't leave a mark

Scattered voices pulling me through

I'm not whole yet

Still found the truth

I never believed, never believed

Through all this pain, I'm breathing

Don't let me fade back into the dark

(I hear the echoes of the life I almost lost)

I've carried the weight but it won't leave a mark

Scattered voices pulling me through

I'm not whole yet… Im not whole yet

I never believed, never believed

(Fractures let a little light bleed in)

Through all this pain, I'm breathing
