[Intro]
Static crowd noise
Lights in my face
Throat full of rust
Heart at a dead stop pace
One note droning
Sweat in my eyes
Truth keeps pounding
Right between the lies
[Verse 1]
Woke up choking on the dust of my excuses
Tongue like sand
Every promise tastes the same
All my heroes just reflections in a window
Turned away before they ever learned my name
[Chorus]
Shards of revelation
Cut straight through my skin
Every broken story
Let the daylight in
I’ve been running circles
Around the thing I fear
Shards of revelation
Now it’s crystal clear
[Verse 2]
Clock keeps clicking but the moment never changes
Same four walls
Every crack knows what I’ve done
Tried confession in the dark to my reflection
But the mirror only ever showed me one
[Pre-Chorus]
How long can I fake this breathing?
How long till the mask caves in? (yeah)
Every lie I keep repeating
Carved into my grin
[Chorus]
Shards of revelation
Cut straight through my skin
Every broken story
Let the daylight in
I’ve been running circles
Around the thing I fear
Shards of revelation
Now it’s crystal clear
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I see the face behind my face
The voice behind the roar (hey!)
The hand that holds the match
Still begging for the fire once more
No prophet on a mountain
Just an echo in my chest
Saying “this is all you get now
Make it bleed
Make it confess”
[Chorus]
Shards of revelation
Cut straight through my skin
Every broken story
Let the daylight in
I’ve been running circles
Around the thing I fear
Shards of revelation
Now it’s crystal clear
[Outro]
One last riff
Grinding my name
One last scream
To bury the shame (go!)
Truth in my teeth
Blood on the floor
Shards of revelation
I don’t run anymore
