Shattered
Lyrics
Wake up as the sun shines through your bedroom window
Let the chills creep down your spine
On the outside looking in
Your family knows you're suffering
Yet you're convinced that everything's fine
(Everything's fine)
The voice inside your head is turning thoughts against you
Your foundation's crumbling, and you think no one is there to catch you
You'll never know how much you're worth
Until you're shaking on the floor
Always begging for something more
We sit and watch it all burn
From the sidelines we gaze
Never knowing where to turn
Your shattered mind will never be at ease
But you are loved
You are loved and it's a shame you'll never know
Every night I have this recurring dream
That I wake up to find you talking in your sleep
To find you strung out and tearing at the seams
I've been seeing red in places that I've never seen
Your eyes roll back into your head
I wake up in a pool of sweat
I turn myself towards the door
And the cycle repeats
Remember the night you fell asleep at the wheel?
Swallowed a pill so you forgot what it's like to feel
Washed it down with some booze in the white lights
You could have taken your own or another life
Refuse to see what is real
We sit and watch it all burn
From the sidelines we gaze
Never knowing where to turn
Your shattered mind will never be at ease
But you are loved
You are loved
You sip the blood mixed in with drugs and the poison
Your life's slipping away
(Your life's slipping away)
So lost in life
No love or devotion
Not a care for yourself or anyone else
Or anyone else
Not a care for yourself or anyone else
You're not a slave to addiction
Only a slave to yourself
You can break free from this hell
Wake up as the sun shines through your bedroom window
Let the chills creep down your spine
On the outside looking in
Your family knows you're suffering
Yet you're convinced that everything's fine
(Everything's fine)
The voice inside your head is turning thoughts against you
Your foundation's crumbling, and you think no one is there to catch you
You'll never know how much you're worth
Until you're shaking on the floor
Always begging for something more
We sit and watch it all burn
From the sidelines we gaze
Never knowing where to turn
Your shattered mind will never be at ease
But you are loved
You are loved and it's a shame you'll never know
Every night I have this recurring dream
That I wake up to find you talking in your sleep
To find you strung out and tearing at the seams
I've been seeing red in places that I've never seen
Your eyes roll back into your head
I wake up in a pool of sweat
I turn myself towards the door
And the cycle repeats
Remember the night you fell asleep at the wheel?
Swallowed a pill so you forgot what it's like to feel
Washed it down with some booze in the white lights
You could have taken your own or another life
Refuse to see what is real
We sit and watch it all burn
From the sidelines we gaze
Never knowing where to turn
Your shattered mind will never be at ease
But you are loved
You are loved
You sip the blood mixed in with drugs and the poison
Your life's slipping away
(Your life's slipping away)
So lost in life
No love or devotion
Not a care for yourself or anyone else
Or anyone else
Not a care for yourself or anyone else
You're not a slave to addiction
Only a slave to yourself
You can break free from this hell
